Z_GIS, an established and widely acknowledged Centre of Excellence in GIScience, is setting benchmarks in conceptual, methodological and applied aspects of geo-spatial research. As ?experts for the spatial view? we analyse causes, mutual relationships and temporal dynamics of various spatial phenomena.

Z_GIS develops generic tools and integrated workflows for transforming complex, multi-dimensional geospatial data into policy-relevant, conditioned information. By this, we provide effective technological means for spatial management and monitoring of current states and trends.
