“Landscape means an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors” (Art.1 of European Landscape Convention (ELC)).

GEOLAND will focus in promoting digital skills like PPGIS (public participation GIS), low-cost geoinformatic tools and the digital readiness of higher education students in the Covid-19 pandemic era. Download a leaflet about the project
