Geospatial activity is booming in Europe. In many countries, demand for a geospatial workforce is not being met by supply. Central administration (the European Commission and Ministries of Education) seem largely unaware of the problems being faced by the industry. Connecting stakeholders is essential for the future. This presentation reports on initiatives to support and enhance geospatial education in different education sectors. It suggests the role and importance of networking and developing a strong lobby for geospatial education for all and sets out goals for those working in the geospatial sector to consider when attempting to redress the situation.
