Geospatial and ICT expertise is in high demand in the rapidly developing Global South, and countries of the Sub-Saharan Africa have desirable new markets for high technology geospatial solutions. Tanzania is one of these countries and the Tanzanian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are in need of partnerships to build their geospatial and ICT expertise and innovation development. The Geo-ICT project aims to improve the quality and societal relevance of geospatial and ICT research and education in four Tanzanian HEIs: University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), Ardhi University (ARU), State University of Zanzibar (SUZA) and Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA). At the end of the 3-year project, the quality and societal relevance of geospatial and ICT research and education in four participating Tanzanian HEIs is improved and they have increased synergy, interdependency and well performing stakeholder collaboration in GEO/ICT expertise and its applications in the society. We will measure these improvement in quality by the number and diversity of MSc and PhD research projects/theses based on geospatial and ICT solutions; by the number and diversity of professionals (PhD, MSc) trained and employed in GEO/ICT solutions and applications, and we will identify improvement in societal relevance through various shared HEI activities in the sector of GEO/ICT research and education through monitoring stakeholder satisfaction to HEIs’ research and education quality, and by looking into the number of entrepreneurship innovations/start-ups in geospatial and ICT sector. 1. Teaching and research staff in HEIs is more competent in geospatial and ICT skills, and more capable of tackling with environmental and social problems in Tanzania. 2. The contents and methods of teaching in HEIs are improved and research environments in GIS/ICT are improved and existing ones more effectively used. 3. There is increased synergy and interdependence among partner universities, their stakeholders in GIS/ICT expertise and uses of these skills and resources in the society. 4. HEIs have improved modes of collaboration with the public, private and civil society actors. HEIs act as catalysts for GIS/ICT business ecosystem development and graduates are more skilled actors in the private sector.

POSTERIN PIKAOHJE Tekstin koko: Tekstin tulee olla luettavissa noin 1,5 metrin päästä,

joten fontin koko tulee olla riittävän suuri.

Luettavuutta helpottaa riittävän suuri riviväli.

• Otsikot Arial Narrow 70-100pt

• Leipäteksti Times New roman (tai vastaava),

vähintään 30pt (oletus 44pt). Riviväli riitävän

suuri (oletus 60pt)

• Tekijät Arial Narrow 40-60pt

• Laitokset Arial Narrow 30-40pt

• Kuvateksti 24-32pt

Kuvien käyttö: Varmista että sinulla on oikeudet käyttää kuvaa. Netistä

ladatut kuvat ovat osein käyttäjäoikeuksien suojaamia.

Kuvia kannattaa etsiä esim. Creative Commons

Kun suurennat ja pienennät kuvia varmista että kuvan

mittasuhteet säilyvät oikeina, jottei kuva vääristy.

Suurenna/pienennä kuvaa shift pohjassa kulmasta

vetämällä

Kuvien laatu: Kuvan resoluution tulisi olla 200-300dpi. Netistä

ladattujen kuvien resoluutio on useimmiten 72dpi, jolloin

printattuna kuva toistuu suttuisena.

Värit: Teemaan on tallennettu yliopiston tiedekuntavärit sekä

Aqua jota voi käyttää yleisenä korostusvärinä.

QR-koodi: Tee qr-koodi (esim. www.goqr.me) ja lataa koodi

riittävän isona png-kuvatiedostona.

Logot: Turun yliopiston logo lisätään ensimmäiseksi. Lisätietoa

logosta ja sen käytöstä www.utu.fi/logo

Nämä ohjeet eivät näy lopullisessa versiossa.

Mallipohjat (layout): Valitse ensin posterin malli tarjolla olevista diapohjista.

Valitse sitten sopivin pohja dian asettelumalleista, joista

löytyy eri palstajakoja sekä tekstilaatikoasetteluja. Voit

muokata pohjien kenttien kokoa ja määrää haluamaksesi.

Taustakuva/taustaelementit Pohjissa on valittavissa yliopiston pallot ja UTUGS:n

kuusikulmiot. Voit asemoida tai poistaa taustakuvion

master-slideltä.

Posterin tallentaminen

pdf-muotoon: Posterin kokoa voidaan säädetään toiminnolla Tiedosto

Geospatial and ICT expertise is in high demand in the rapidly developing Global South, and countries of the Sub-Saharan Africa have desirable new markets for high

technology geospatial solutions. Tanzania is one of these countries and the Tanzanian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are in need of partnerships to build their

geospatial and ICT expertise and innovation development. The Geo-ICT project aims to improve the quality and societal relevance of geospatial and ICT research and

education in four Tanzanian HEIs: University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), Ardhi University (ARU), State University of Zanzibar (SUZA) and Sokoine University of Agriculture

(SUA). At the end of the 3-year project, the quality and societal relevance of geospatial and ICT research and education in four participating Tanzanian HEIs is improved

and they have increased synergy, interdependency and well performing stakeholder collaboration in GEO/ICT expertise and its applications in the society. We will

measure these improvement in quality by the number and diversity of MSc and PhD research projects/theses based on geospatial and ICT solutions; by the number and

diversity of professionals (PhD, MSc) trained and employed in GEO/ICT solutions and applications, and we will identify improvement in societal relevance through

various shared HEI activities in the sector of GEO/ICT research and education through monitoring stakeholder satisfaction to HEIs’ research and education quality, and

by looking into the number of entrepreneurship innovations/start-ups in geospatial and ICT sector.

1. Teaching and research staff in HEIs is more competent in geospatial

and ICT skills, and more capable of tackling with environmental and

social problems in Tanzania.

2. The contents and methods of teaching in HEIs are improved and

research environments in GIS/ICT are improved and existing ones

more effectively used.

3. There is increased synergy and interdependence among partner

universities, their stakeholders in GIS/ICT expertise and uses of these

skills and resources in the society.

4. HEIs have improved modes of collaboration with the public, private

and civil society actors. HEIs act as catalysts for GIS/ICT business

ecosystem development and graduates are more skilled actors in the

private sector.
