The 3rd AGILE PhD School was led by Prof Lex Comber (University of Leeds, UK) and Dr Bénédicte Bucher (IGN, France) ran over 4 days and was attended by 20 PhD students from institutions across Europe. The aim of the School was to provide training in core research and writing skills for the next generation of European researchers in spatial information sciences support students. It included sessions on scientific writing, how to frame research and presentation skills with talks from international speakers on recent developments in key GIScience topic areas. There were also a number of social events! The accommodation, meals and travel were fully supported financially by AGILE for each of the attendees.
