Cooperation for fusing skills on Cloud-based Open Geoinformatics: Innovative Environmental Management
Enhancement of students’ and young professionals’ GI skills in advanced and real-world water risk management issues
Development of a complete framework, that brings together infrastructure, data and skills on forest risk management and allows effective interdisciplinary collaboration
Establishment of transnational open collaboration between academia and SMEs across EU in order to address existing GI training needs in health risk management
Establishment of transnational open collaboration between academia and SMEs across EU in order to address existing GI training needs in environmental and health risk management (e.g. water and forest disaster risk management, adaptation and impact mitigation issues etc.).
Transfer of knowledge and bridging the partners’ academic and professional experience gap in using GI applications at different key environmental and health sectors.
Enhancement of professional skills in using open GI platforms for cooperative interdisciplinary data processing.
Development, implementation and validation of an innovative, evidence-based virtual learning environment (VLE) for the remote training in using open cloud GI (GIS, RS etc.) platforms where feedback from multiple stakeholders (academics, students, industry) will be evaluated.
Design of the architecture of curricula, establish and promote a
postgraduate international.
Research and field review – This is a detailed study which among else: identifies the most effective strategies and technological tools adapted to GI Environmental Management education, explores the usefulness of the ICT technologies/methodologies and importance of ICT knowledge in employability skills, inspects the integration of students’ studies and enterprises’ needs, recognizes the gaps between the GI Environmental Management educational sector and the labour market, et al.
Draft Curricula – This output encompasses the curricular experiences of all participating High Education Institutions and among else: acts as a reference point for educational methods that develop GI and environmental management skills and knowledge in line with the needs of the learners and SMEs across EU, supports continuity of the learning experience and progression in learning experience working with a sequence of successively more complex ways of thinking about Environmental Management, promotes collaborative dialogue between academia, institutions, industries, teachers and learners, focused on identifying and responding to the educational needs of the participants in the area of GI and Environmental Management, et al.
Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) platform – This e-learning platform supports remote training and teaching and supports communication and collaborative learning, such as the use of forums, chat and email for discussion and feedback as well as exchange of information between users. Students using a VLE can be set a ‘task’ to complete at their own pace, time and location encouraging independent learning and increases students’ motivation to learn. All stakeholders are provided with free access to this VLE platform.
Training toolkit – The toolkit allows the user to articulate a clear understanding of the context of FuseGI and actively engage themselves to learning process and accomplish courses. It also enhances the operational capacity of the FuseGI project to deliver successful GI and Environmental Management knowledge. All training material/references are uploaded at the project’s platform and are regularly updated. Training coordinators, curriculum developers, and trainers can all use the Toolkit in preparing and presenting GI and Environmental Management training.
Final curricula – This output summarizes all final project and includes the following: the overall structure of the modules, the content of the individual modules themselves, content descriptions, content elaborations, achievement standards and annotated work samples, tasks or situations that allow to observe student performance relative to the adopted model.

FuseGI ERASMUS+ project aims to support Higher Education Institutes (HEI) in the fields of Forest, Water and Health to provide cutting edge GIS training, using cloud technologies.
Your answers to this questionnaire will help us document the gap between the currently offered GIS skills to HEI students and skills that are requested of young professionals in their early career.
Thank you in advance for your time and valuable insights!
