The first day of the workshop (4th June, 2PM) is focused on the development of the VESTA-GIS sub-network “GI&Water Management”, in cooperation with the TECHWARE Interest Group on technologies for water resources, and  will consist on the presentation of networking ongoing initiatives and Good Practices for training on GI&water management.

The second day of the workshop (3rd June, 2PM) is more addressed to introduce the existing and ongoing training initiatives in the GIS for the water resources management, by presenting experiences and needs both by the industrial and academic sectors.
