Description: Research, education
and technological development is currently developed at CentroGeo through
four main divisions; the Geomatics Division (that includes a Laboratory),
the Education Division, the Technology Division and the Geography Division.
The first three are centered on GIScience.
CentroGeo dedicated two years to
the design of a scientific management model that would be adequate to the
current national and international environment. Accordingly, research, technological
development , education and the interaction with society is organized
around multidisciplinary and heterarquical groups.
During these first three years
of CentroGeo, this model has allowed the integration and development of a
core group of researchers, technology developers and technicians (around
40) that have produce significant work in a very short period of time and
in adverse institutional conditions.
Moreover, this model
incorporates the concept of a virtual network (RedGeo) of researchers,
specialists, technicians and institutions that have collaborated with
CentroGeo since its foundation in 1999. Colleagues from Mexico and other
countries (mainly USA, Canada, Colombia) are participating either as main
researchers or as advisors in various projects. Collaboration agreements
have been signed with Mexican Universities and research centers as well as
with Canadian Universities and the University of South West Texas.
