Geoinformatics is increasingly being used to solve complex environmental
problems in domains such as management of natural resources, land use
planning and management, nature conservation, and environmental
monitoring, require reliable spatial information and methodologies.
Geoinformatics combines expertise from the fields of: - information and
communication technology (ICT); - geographical information systems (GIS),
remote sensing, GPS and mapping; - environmental and social sciences such
as land use planning, geography, and communication. This workshop provides
an overview of the key concepts and principles in Geoinformatics and its
applications in environmental management, areas of global and national
environmental concern. Various tools, which can be used to address
environmental problems and the role that the professionals can play in
managing environment in their respective areas would be discussed.

The workshop is meant for faculty (recognized engineering colleges in
India) and CiSTUP stakeholders. TA would be provided to the select
teachers. Faculty desiring for Travel allowance need to send a brief
write-up on Relevance of Geoinformatics in India and how Geoinformatics
workshop would benefit their career. Application and write-up is to be
