Geographic Information System (GIS) Center

The University of Balamand boasts Lebanon's first fully operational academic center devoted to advancing GIS knowledge. The University uses GIS to integrate education, and community based research and service projects. The University works closely with local and international agencies and organizations to develop their services with the help of GIS.

The GIS center consists of students and faculty working together to solve practical, real-world problems. Many of the students are working toward graduation requirements. Others work voluntarily with a community partner or seek to further their qualifications through continuing education programs.
