This page contains some lectures which explain the main concepts of geomatic as well as the fundamental techniques of geographical information management. This didactic material (PowerPoint format) also presents the application of these concepts in SavGIS. The use of these courses is authorised within the framework of the academic and vocational training. Thanks for mentioning the authors!  At the bottom of this page, examples of past training are referenced.

Note: we will very soon provide all the topics in English.
