Geographic Information Science & Technology (GIS&T) is constantly evolving in scientific and technological terms. In 2006 the GIS&T
Body of Knowledge (BoK) initiative has provided a domain inventory that serves as a structured basis for curriculum development. The
content and structure of the BoK are currently undergoing revision. One of the projects addressing an update of the BoK is the project
Geographic Information: Need to Know. In this project an assessment of current and future workforce demand and educational supply in the
geographic information (GI) domain provide the basis for revising the BoK. This article reports on first results from a survey regarding GI
workforce demand in Europe. People working in the GIS&T domain were asked to rate BoK knowledge areas related to their relevance in a
professional working context. These ratings are differentiated by types of organizations and educational backgrounds of respondents. The
report is rounded off with an outlook to the results on future competences identified by respondents. [-]
