Previous Event Highlights
On 22nd October 2024, Digital Earth Africa, represented by Kenneth Mubea, conducted a training session for Master’s and PhD students at the Department of Geography, Kyambogo University. Organized by Prof. Bernard Barasa, this session focused on GIS and Earth Observation Systems. The training aimed to equip postgraduate students with the necessary technical skills to enhance their research projects and dissertations.
This lecture is part of a series of training sessions designed to bridge the technical capacity gap in Earth observation across Africa and empower the continent’s future leaders in spatial sciences. The event was widely recognized for its impact in advancing GIS and Earth observation knowledge among students.
