Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are increasingly important in academia,
especially at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), due to their
ability to analyse and visualise geographic data. GIS tools are crucial for SLU's focus
on sustainable resource management, aiding in the study of land use, climate change,
and ecosystems.

They also provide valuable practical skills to students, enhancing their career
prospects in fields like environmental consulting and urban planning. Integrating GIS
strengthens SLU's research and educational goals in sustainable development and
environmental stewardship.

Below is a summarised overview of GIS-software used within SLU
