The new MSc in Geoinformatics Engineering at Politecnico di Milano

In the new digital scenario, new professional figures are needed to manage the spatial and environmental information: geoinformatics engineers are high level experts in technologies for measuring, georeferencing, managing, analyzing, visualizing and publishing spatial and time varying information, with a particular concern to environmental data. As the academic teaching is concerned, some universities in Europe propose courses in Geoinformatics. In Italy, Politecnico di Milano started in 2016 the first national MSc in Geoinformatics Engineering: this paper describes it.
