2019 - A year in review

2019 was another good year.

Work on the OSi project coming to a successful conclusion, 3 journal papers published (one with Remote Sensing of Environment), 2 surveyors journal articles published, 2 EO sessions at EUGEO, a SFI Discover award, through to last stages of SFI Frontiers, managed to get an ERC proposal submitted, co-developing the new INFOMAR module, collaborated on national space strategy - and sponsorship of a eBee drone from KOREC!

Think that's it - time to enjoy the holiday.

SFI Discover - Space, Surveyors and Students: STEM and Sustainable Development Goals (5*S)

Very pleased to hear that our SFI Discover proposal was successful - Space, Surveyors and Students: STEM and Sustainable Development Goals (5*S)

5*S builds on two existing national school-based programmes to target a national audience. A collaboration between Esri Ireland’s award-winning, ‘ArcGIS for Schools’ programme and the Society of Chartered Surveyors ‘Day in the Life’ recruitment programme offers the opportunity to combine a national network of volunteers with an existing data and training infrastructure  in Irish primary and post-primary schools. Added to that 5*S was awarded funding for a software developer to work on AR and bring Copernicus into the schools.

Project partners are Maynooth Geog, Maynooth Dept Education, TU Dublin, Esri Ireland, Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland and Ordnance Survey Ireland - collaborating with ESERO/SFI.

We'll have more info in 2020 and announce it properly but here's the Silicon Republic article
