Summary
 Landmap continues to provide high-quality spatial data to the
UK academic community through the Kaia Geoportal.
 The next year will focus on improving the user experience of
Kaia through further client developments
 Promote the use of the service through running workshops
nationwide at universities & providing webinars.
 The Learning Zone will continue to be developed with
requests for further courses from the academic community.
 Spatial Science for Schools and ELOGeo will be promoted
in the UK over the next year to increase usage of these new
resources.
