Social innovations in Geo-ICT education at Tanzanian Universities for improved employability (GeoICT4e)
Geospatial-ICT technologies are making an impact leap due to globally accessible digital solutions. We are witnessing a massive growth of innovations built on open geospatial data through affordable mobile technologies, and these are tackling major challenges, such as rapid urbanization, degradation of marine and land environments, and humanitarian crises. The number of experts needed is growing, but also the required skills, capabilities and attitudes are changing. Universities need to think that although the future jobs rely on graduates' solid digital data and technology skills, students need to have good conceptual and practical understanding of societal problems.
