Initial Training

«Through my involvement in SOGI, I would like to promote and support the educational landscape in Switzerland in the field of geoinformation. As Head of Education, education and training is particularly close to my heart, because only well-trained specialists in the field of spatial information can cope with the upcoming challenges in dealing with the scarce resource "space" and at the same time strengthen the labour market in Switzerland.» Andy Reimers, Member of Board

The SOGI Education Group is a Switzerland-wide institution that focuses on coordinating and strengthening education and training opportunities in the field of geoinformation. The members benefit from a lively exchange about current trends, educational offers and research results in the field of geoinformation. This helps to make the educational landscape more transparent and accessible to interested parties. Our initiatives, such as the GEOSchoolday, aim to specifically promote young talent in our industry. In addition, we are actively involved in the further development of education in the geoinformation sector by providing our expertise, participating in consultations and issuing statements.
