Internationally recognised Masters and professional certificate programs in GIS are now being offered in central Asia. They are available through the UNIGIS study centre at the Kyrgyz State University for Construction, Transportation and Architecture (KSUCTA) in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan Republic.

The UNIGIS program in geographic information science and technologies aims to help train the human capital necessary for spatial data infrastructures to be developed in the countries of the region.

This new UNIGIS study centre is integrated with the Austria-Central Asia Centre for GIScience (www.aca-giscience.org). It offers in-service distance education for professionals interested in geo-informatics.

Courses will begin in September and lead students to degrees or certificates awarded by the University of Salzburg in Austria.

ASM Newsletter is distributed by e-mail every week. It reports on events in the spatial industry in Asia and events outside the region which will impact on Asia.
