Description: COVID-19 has led to the rapid transformation and digitalisation of education around the world. Since the pandemic all aspects of education have been affected. Over the past 2 years many education staff have been required to react to the ongoing uncertainties and adapt materials quickly, learn new technologies with little or no time for reflection, upskilling, planning and designing of courses for delivering education in multi-modal learning environments. Our goal is to bring together geospatial educators in higher education and provide an opportunity to reflect on education in the past two years, share experiences and discuss what is needed next with education. We would like to hear more from GiScience educators to identify what is required for implementing resilient GIScience Education and what is the best way forward.
