Description
In this short presentation, the speaker will address how he promoted open source mapping tools in an event called Geographic Information System (G.I.S.) Day in a global network university: NYU Shanghai in China where he works.
In November 2014, the speaker collaborated with two other universities that form NYU's global network university: NYU in New York and NYU in Abu Dhabi to promote G.I.S. Day across three continents. The speaker will share his experiences on promoting mapping tools globally and collaboratively: the lessons learned and how to effectively outreach and engage with students across the global network through events such as G.I.S. Day. Attendees may be inspired to organize their own G.I.S Day in November and to collaborate with other universities across the globe to promote open access mapping tools.
