Geospatial Courses across the OSUN Network
The Open Society University Network (OSUN) connects institutions worldwide, fostering collaboration and interdisciplinary learning. Since 2022, Central European University (CEU), the American University of Central Asia (AUCA), and Bard College Annandale have partnered to offer a series of geospatial courses aimed at developing essential skills in geospatial technologies.
This website showcases four courses that empower students and OSUN community members to engage with cutting-edge tools and concepts in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to address global challenges:
- Earth Observations in Monitoring Sustainable Development Goals
- Introduction to Geospatial Analysis
- Introduction to Geospatial Data Visualization
- Mapping the World with QGIS
These courses unite participants from across the OSUN network, creating a dynamic, collaborative learning environment. Students and faculty from CEU, AUCA, and Bard College Annandale, along with members of the broader OSUN community, actively contribute to building a shared knowledge base and advancing geospatial education.
Explore the website to learn more about the courses, access resources, and discover how geospatial technologies are shaping our understanding of the world.
