Welcome to the OSGeo Laboratory at BME
Quality trainings for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G)
The Department of Geodesy and Surveying of BME
joined in 2014 to "Geo for All" which is a joint initiative of OSGeo
(Open Source
Geospatial Foundation), ICA (International Cartographic
Association) and ISPRS (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing).
"Geo for All" is specialized in teaching and researching in several open source topics.
Our laboratory participates in the daytime education of undergraduate and postgraduate students, and announces short courses to interested people.
