Open Source Geospatial Research and Education Laboratory

This OSGeo Research and Education Laboratory (OSGeoREL) is located at the Czech Techniocal University in Prague, Faculty of Civil Enginneering, Department of Mapping and Cartography in Prague, Czech Republic. Our mission, as one of the laboratories in the OSGeo worldwide network, is to develop collaboration opportunities for academic, industrial, and government organizations in open source GIS software and data.
OSGeo/ICA Memorandum of Understanding
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for developing global open source GIS software and data collaborations for academic, industrial, and government organizations. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories and Research Centres across the world for development of open-source geospatial software technologies and training. Laboratories are being established in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas and Australasia which will act as nodes for future expansion of the worldwide network.
