First my thank you to the global Geo for All community that made this possible
Open Geospatial Labs are being established worldwide to scale up research and teaching globally as part of the ICA-OSGeo MoU

Making Geospatial education and opportunities
accessible to all

There are many dimensions to “Open”
• Open source software.
• Open data.
• Open standards.
• Open access to research publications.
• Open education resources
But fundamentally it is based on Open Principles

Impact is the positive changes to the lives of people

Hunger
• For the first time in human history, the knowledge to end hunger exists on Earth
• 800 million people struggle with debilitating hunger and malnutrition
• We need to find solutions beyond MORE food. Nutritionally sensitive agriculture is essential for global public health and wellbeing
• We are convinced that the solution to closing this unacceptable hunger gap lies within harnessing and opening agriculture and nutrition data
• “location” relevant data plays an important role

Openness – Increasing quality through peer review
Open Source Software
◊ Source code remains in the public domain
free for all to use, change and (re)distribute
◊ Development done in public usually by a community (distributed, informal team of developers)
![Page 13: Open Principles in Education – Building Bridges, Empowering communities](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58ecbeb71a28abae5a8b45e1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
◊GLOBAL URBAN PROBLEMS: access to GLOBAL URBAN PROBLEMS: access to water, sanitation, traffic congestions, water, sanitation, traffic congestions, economic sustainability, citizenseconomic sustainability, citizens’’ health, health, impact on environment …impact on environment …
◊Mapping is a critical component to help understand and develop solutions for urban growth problems
◊Proprietary software tools are very expensive (hence unavailable) for economically poor countries and communities worldwide

June 2010
“Geo for All” started from very humble beginnings
Aim – Build research and teaching infrastructure worldwide
Problem – No initial funding!
Biggest Strength – amazing support from colleagues and students

Why - Social ResponsibilityMaking resources including software and
data openly available offers an opportunity for knowledge to be shared widely so as to
increase learning opportunities. Example – Collaborating with educational initiatives like gvSIG Batoví

Open Geospatial Education & Research
Geospatial Standards (for ex. OGC spec.)
Maturity of open source software (for
ex. OSGeo stack)
Open Data
Ability for showing the operation of general laws
is fundamental for scientific research

Vision 2030Science should always be open
Geospatial Science should be fully build on Open PrinciplesTransparency of research is fundamental (no black boxes or proprietary barriers).
Geospatial Science = Open Geospatial Science
Open Geospatial Labs are being established worldwide to scale up research and teaching globally as part of the ICA-OSGeo MoU http://bookshop.europa.eu/en/open-innovation-open-science-open-to-the-world-pbKI0416263

Represents the individual content creator on the World
Wide Web
Why- Open Geospatial Science
helps in empowerment of staff and students capacity building developing creative and open minds in students which is critical for building open innovation contributes to building up Open Knowledge for the benefit of the whole society and for our future generations.

Education + Empowerment = Geo4All ◊ I am confident if we keep focus, we can achieve the target to enable
digital education opportunities (tablets or low cost hardware based) in many of the poorest schools globally in just 10 years time and having this partnership with universities, governments, Industry, SMEs and NGOs is key for this. So even if till now many of these schools did not have access to any proper library or other learning resources, they will now have access to the best digital education resources available globally from wikipedia to MOOCs.
◊ Access to quality education and opportunities is key for getting rid of extreme poverty and enable broadly shared prosperity for all.
◊ We look forward to working and building collaborations with all interested on this education mission.
