The MyGeo project newsletter is your direct channel to the latest developments in GIS education across Europe. As an Erasmus+ funded initiative, we are committed to sharing knowledge, research outcomes, and practical resources with teachers, students, and professionals who are shaping the future of geographic information science in educational settings.
Why Subscribe to MyGeo Updates
The landscape of GIS education is evolving rapidly. New tools emerge, pedagogical approaches improve, and the demand for geographic literacy grows across sectors from urban planning to environmental management. Our newsletter keeps you informed of these shifts and connects you directly to the work our consortium is doing across Belgium, Italy, and Spain.
Whether you are a secondary or tertiary educator looking to integrate GIS into your curriculum, a student exploring career pathways in geographic information science, or a professional interested in how GIS skills are being developed across Europe, the MyGeo newsletter delivers content tailored to your interests. We share practical insights, highlight success stories from our partner universities and companies, and announce opportunities to participate in our growing community of practice.

How MyGeo Communicates Its Results
The MyGeo project operates with a commitment to transparency and knowledge sharing. Our newsletter is one of several channels through which we disseminate findings and resources to ensure that the outcomes of our Erasmus+ funding reach as wide an audience as possible across Europe and beyond.
Our consortium—comprising four leading universities (Padua, Ghent, Zaragoza, and UNED), four companies with deep GIS expertise, and partner NGOs—works collaboratively to produce high-quality educational content and research. The newsletter ensures that teachers, students, policymakers, and employers stay informed about what we are learning and creating together. This approach aligns with our mission to foster the modernization of GIS education and improve employment pathways for young people with geographic information science skills.
Beyond the newsletter, we maintain an active presence through our blog, where longer-form articles explore topics in depth. Our community of practice platform facilitates peer-to-peer learning and networking among educators and professionals. Our gallery showcases practical applications and student work. And our news section highlights project developments and partner activities. Together, these channels create a comprehensive ecosystem for staying connected to the MyGeo initiative.
Who Should Stay Informed
The MyGeo newsletter is designed for a diverse audience. Secondary and university educators will find practical guidance on integrating GIS into their teaching, access to open educational resources, and opportunities to connect with peers across Europe. Students interested in geographic information science will discover learning opportunities, career insights, and examples of how GIS skills open doors in sectors ranging from environmental consulting to urban development and disaster management.
Professionals working in GIS-related fields benefit from updates on educational innovations and emerging talent pipelines. Policymakers and educational administrators interested in curriculum modernization and skills development will find evidence and examples of effective approaches. And members of our partner organizations—universities, companies, and NGOs—receive detailed updates on project progress and collaborative opportunities.
The Value of Staying Connected
In a rapidly changing digital world, geographic information science is becoming increasingly central to how we understand and address global challenges. From climate adaptation to sustainable urban planning, from disaster response to resource management, GIS skills are in high demand. Yet access to quality education in this field remains uneven across Europe.
By staying informed through the MyGeo newsletter, you become part of a movement to democratize GIS education, raise the quality of teaching and learning, and ensure that young people across Europe have the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in a geographically informed economy. You will learn about new tools and methodologies, connect with educators and professionals facing similar challenges, and access resources developed by some of Europe's leading universities and companies.
Our newsletter reflects our core belief that geographic information science is not a niche specialism, but a fundamental literacy for the 21st century. Whether you are an educator seeking to inspire the next generation of geographers and planners, a student charting your career path, or a professional committed to staying current with innovations in your field, the MyGeo newsletter keeps you connected to a vibrant, evolving community across Europe.
We invite you to join thousands of educators, students, and professionals who trust MyGeo to keep them informed about the future of GIS education. Through our newsletter and other communication channels, we share not just project news, but a vision of how geographic information science can empower learners and professionals to make a positive difference in their communities and across our continent.
