GeoLunch
The Geospatial Innovation Facility (GIF) is reviving its informal Geolunch seminar series — covering all topics geo-related at UC Berkeley and beyond. Our goal is to build community, exchange ideas and information, and strengthen collaborations with industry and thought leaders throughout the Bay Area.
Sessions are open to UC Berkeley students, staff, faculty, and members of the wider Bay Area geospatial community. A light lunch is provided — feel free to bring your brown bag as well.
Stay informed by joining the GIF Community mailing list.
