The Faculty of Environmental Engineering of the Krakow University of Technology organizes on 19 June 2018 a meeting of university representatives, commercial companies and local governments to discuss QGIS, the most popular free program for working with spatial data.
The QGIS program was originally created as a tool for working with spatial data and for creating maps. Thanks to the free and open license, programmers and scientists from many countries joined the creation of the QGIS project. Its reputation is stressed by the fact that it is used as a base platform for conducting remote sensing training organized by the NASA.
The Faculty of Environmental Engineering is one of the first in Poland to base education and research on the QGIS platform, and the Krakow University of Technology is the first university in Poland to create a certified QGIS training center.
