Abstract
The world has become increasingly dependent on spatial information for a wide range of purposes. Meanwhile, many studies have indicated a severe, world-wide lack of individuals who are qualified for jobs that require expertise in geospatial technologies. This paper describes the GeoServices-4-Sustainability (GeoS4S) project, an international collaboration designed to help fill this skills and knowledge gap. Our objective in the paper is to create awareness of this effort and its expected outcomes, which should be useful to many institutions involved with geoinformatics and geoscience education.
