Background
• The main objective of GIN2K is to develop an uptodate dynamic
Geographic Information Science & Technology BoK (Body of Knowledge)
which is in line with the latest technological developments and takes into
account the European dimension.
• Analysis of the current situation with focus on the demand of private and
public sector as compared to the existing academic and vocational training
offer;
• Revision of the content of the BoK to bring it in line with technological
developments, emerging new knowledge areas and European context;
• Development of toolsets and guidelines that allow to manage and use the
GIS&T BoK for defining vocational and academic curricula, defining job
profiles, etc.;
• Testing of the GIS&T BoK, its toolsets and guidelines through real world
use cases, with participation of target groups from the private, public and
academic sector;
• Promoting and disseminating the use of the dynamic GIS&T BoK, toolsets
and guidelines.
