At the University of Valladolid we have a wide experience in training on Geographic Information Systems since 1994 when the Department of Geography was one of the first to offer this teaching in a degree course. This training is still present in some Degrees and Masters currently taught. In addition to teaching in formal education, we have trained numerous graduates from various disciplines through introductory and specialization courses. Basic and applied research has always been one of the most important tasks carried out by the Department of Geography in the field of GIS and Remote Sensing. We collaborate with other Departments and Research Groups of the University of Valladolid and other Spanish universities, in research projects that they are carrying out, providing the treatment of geographic information through GIS in their research and fields of interest.

There are numerous research projects, contracts, dissertations, theses, etc. in which cartography and information processing have been carried out using GIS. We offer the university community, public administrations and companies our knowledge and techniques for the elaboration of studies and works that need or use GIS applications as a basic tool and that can be transferred to public or private companies.

We also offer technical assistance to Administrations and companies that request it for the development of their applications related to cartography and Geographic Information Systems in all their dimensions, through the signing of contracts with individuals, Universities or public and private entities for the performance of scientific, technical or artistic works, for the development of specialization teachings or specific training activities, according to Art. 83 of the LOU, as well as through Repetitive Technical Services.
