Educators are using the power of GIS in more than 100 different academic disciplines to spatially enable their research. Researchers often focus on advancing GIScience theory and methodology, or use GIS as an analytical tool in their specific scientific discipline. For programmers, the Esri Development Center (EDC) program provides additional support for those research groups focused on GIS application development.
