The laboratory serves as a space for studentes and teachers to work with geospatial facilities – there are 24 computers, 8 of them are equipped with full-featured and up-to-date OSGeoLive, the rest are based on MS Windows with current open (not only geospatial) software. The main tasks related to work in the laboratory are connected to environmental issues (natural hazards/risks, environmental modeling…) and citizen science projects (OpenStreetMap etc.).
