School on the Cloud Project Update 2015
The document summarizes activities of the European School on the Cloud network, which aims to explore how education should respond to the potential of cloud computing. The network has 57 partners across Europe researching the impact of the cloud on education stakeholders. It has four working groups focusing on cloud leadership, innovative teaching, personalized learning, and future education scenarios. The network also published a state of the art report on cloud computing in education across Europe, finding a variety of isolated initiatives and developments in different countries. The network seeks to provide guidance and support to stakeholders on utilizing cloud technologies and developing cloud-based educational solutions and services.

Editor's Notes
- #2 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.
