Building Future-Ready Geospatial Educators

The advancements in GIS technology and its increasing applications across diverse sectors demand that GIS academicians stay current with the latest tools, trends, and methodologies. Recognizing this need, institutions have to train professionals in the latest trends in geospatial technology, fostering a cycle of knowledge transfer that ensures future generations are well-prepared to meet evolving industry demands.

To address this, a 5-day advanced training program has been designed to strengthen and enable educators to bring emerging technologies, modern analytical workflows, and real-world geospatial problem solving into their curriculum and research.

This collaboration between GACI, TERI School of Advanced Studies, and Esri India brings together leading experts, hands-on learning environments, and globally recognized GIS tools — ensuring participants gain not just skill enhancement, but also the confidence to lead the next era of geospatial education.

Program Overview

Over five intensive days, participants will engage in concept-to-application learning across the full geospatial stack — from enterprise GIS architecture and open data utilization to GeoAI, real-time analytics, and 3D digital twins. Through guided hands-on exercises, the program ensures a balance between academic rigor and professional applicability.

The training reflects current and future market needs — empowering faculty to transition students from foundational GIS learning to advanced spatial analytics and industry-aligned competencies.
