I bloggen Bioekonomi får du veta mer om Yrkeshögskolan Novias forsknings-, utvecklings- och innovationsverksamhet inom forskningsområdet systemomställning för att bygga resiliens. Majoriteten av personalen finns huvudsakligen i Raseborg. Här bildar forskare, projektarbetare, lärare, studerande och administrativ personal en dynamisk helhet. På vår blogg kan du läsa om vilka vi är, vad vi gör och om våra resultat. Välkommen!

Systemic Transformation to Build Resilience is one of Novia University of Applied Sciences six' research areas. The activity is mostly located in Raseborg, in southern Finland. As a dynamic unity, our researchers, project workers, teachers, students and administrative personnel produce versatile results in research, development and innovation. We blog about who we are, what we do, what our conclusions are, and how we implement them. Welcome!

Why Novia needs to build its competence with spatial data

In today’s world, most of us, every day, use what we call (geo)spatial data without even knowing it.

Geospatial data can tell you anything you want to know about any location you like; and that information is crucial to act efficiently, every day.

Picture5

At Novia, we understand the importance of spatial data to make sound and sustainable decisions. And most of our faculties use or could use spatial data to implement further integrated projects. That is why we are in the process of establishing a dedicated centre of expertise, potentially named Spatial competence centre.

Picture6

The centre would gather extensive cross-disciplinary information and would be accessible permanently to everyone within Novia. It would take the form of a data repository and a participatory platform. There, one would upload one’s own data or find actual databases relevant to one’s project, whether it is from a previous Novia’s projects or from open-source databases. In addition, educational content such as tutorials and useful tools will be available. This would enhance our internal competences, combining Novia’s vision to respond to continuous learning and aiming to reach one of Novia’s strategic goals of digital learning and service.

Picture7

In the coming months, you’ll hear more about this centre and the reasons why you need it too (in English). At that point, we will also open the floor for you to give us your ideas and opinions. And you can already complete our assessment of what Novia is already doing, and what Novia wants and needs in terms of spatial data by filling in the survey (3-4 minutes max).
