Education

In the past, we have supervised student projects and dissertations at University College London (UCL), for aspiring GIS Professionals on topics ranging from geospatial detection of assets, to positional accuracy of augmented reality in the built environment.

We recently sponsored a PhD student at University of Liverpool Centre for Doctoral Training in remote observation and urban analysis. These activities are supported by our Academic Liaison (Senior GIS Consultant) who also attends UCL careers fairs – to answer questions and support graduates about to embark on their career in GIS.
