University of Southampton to establish Open Source Geospatial Lab

Prof. David Martin who was the keynote speaker at OSGIS 2012 announced University of Southampton’s aim for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Lab  to build up research in this strategic area at the University of Southampton.  Onbehalf of OSGeo and ICA, we strongly welcome this initiative. We look forward to work with colleagues in Southampton for building research collaborations for the future.

I am also in discussions with other key research universities for the establishment of Open Geospatial Labs and will announce more details in due course. Our aim is to  establish 20 new research labs in the next 3 years. These new research labs are strategic to  help us accelerate research developments in this area for the future. If your university wishes to establish Open Source Geospatial Lab, please contact me and i will be pleased to discuss details.

We look forward for your continued support for building up Open Source, Open Standards, Open Data research globally and seeing you at FOSS4G 2013 at Nottingham for building further research collaborations.
