Edu4GEO2 - Implementation of Academic Geomatics Education in Ethiopia for Supporting Sustainable Development

Edu4GEO is an advanced academic partnership project based on the results of EduLAND2 project. Edu4GEO is designed to upgrade the competence of undergraduate students through implementing a master curriculum on Geomatics to make students fit for carrying out research activities, for teaching at academic institutions, and for leading public and private institutions in the field of land administration and geodata-management.

The implementation of the master course relies heavily on team teaching. During the first and the second term of the master program, all classes are held as team teaching of the project members from all partner institutions. From the third term on, lecturers of DMU will take over and provide classes by their own (in a team-teaching approach).

Edu4GEO also includes customized trainings for land administration professionals engaged in different scientific works, which will close existing knowledge and skill gaps. Particularly, the training of land committees and female farmers is pivotal for the proper functioning of the land administration activities especially at the grass root level.
