A UK Geospatial strategy announced this week (Wednesday 14th June) at London Tech Week, will help transform public services and boost business, the government has claimed. Specific aims include the publication of a report identifying the cross-cutting challenges and opportunities for location data in the health sector and a further report setting out how the public sector access to earth observation data and its innovative use can be supported. The strategy also includes plans to work with universities to publish best practice as a first step towards embedding geospatial learning into data science and geography courses.
