摘要：Geographic information (GI) and technology has rapidly expanded and evolved over the past decades resulting in an increased need for experts in this field. However, the academic, private and public sectors active in this domain often have difficulties to find well-trained and skilled employees. The geospatial workforce often appears to be inadequately prepared to the continuously evolving GI-domain. This paper presents the results of the Erasmus project „Geographic Information – Need to Know (GI-N2K)‟3 which aimed at filling this gap by analyzing the demand for and supply of geospatial education and training, the creation of a European version of the Body of Knowledge for GI Science & Technology (BoK GI S&T), the development of a platform with tools for using the BoK and by testing and validating the results through real-world use cases during plugfests.
