After a launch event in September 2007, the UNIGIS distance learning program at AIT in Bangkok is now actively getting underway. The course director Dr Nitin Tripathi from AIT's School of Engineering and Technology is prepared to discuss this new educational offering with prospective students, and he emphasizes: "AIT now has an opportunity to reach out to a new audience through UNIGIS@AIT".The UNIGIS program at AIT is a joint academic initiative with Salzburg University, Austria. Supported by the Salzburg University Center for Geoinformatics, depending on the program track chosen successful students will be awarded either a European MSc degree, or an academic certificate.
