Geodienst

Spatial expertise centre that provides research support

Welcome to the Geodienst! We are the spatial expertise centre and we offer free support for all students & staff with GIS and data management.


The Geodienst is the central point of contact for technological innovation in the field of spatial information technology including data, software, and visualization. Additionally, we can improve engagement with research output by developing (interactive) maps, for example.

Questions about your research or GIS? Visit our Open Office Hours every Tuesday at the central library or join us on Wednesdays for our Open Working Hours at Zernike. You can also schedule a personal appointment.
