ABOUT US
Geospatial Systems
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Geospatial Systems is a collaborative partnership between Newcastle University and the University of Nottingham, established in 2019.
With the Geospatial Commission predicting that opening-up geospatial data in the UK could have an annual economic impact of £11bn, and a global geospatial industry worth $500bn, the aim of the CDT is to train the next generation of world-leading geospatial engineers and scientists.
Maximising the benefits of cutting edge technologies
Through undertaking a comprehensive four year training PhD programme, which has been specifically developed by our world-leading geospatial scientists and informed by our industry partners, the CDT will provide PhD researchers with high-level, industry standard, knowledge and skills in; the Internet of Things, Big Data Management, and new analytical methods such as Artificial Intelligence.
