Investigation into Academic Remote Sensing Education Across the Globe: The Case of Nigeria [Education

Abstract

As an action for the regional Aerospace Industry Cluster in Lombardy, Italy, our research group is conducting a review of higher education activities in aerospace and remote sensing. Analyzing various models and approaches should help in finding the best approach to education locally in a particularly promising field, starting from a global perspective. In this article, which is one of a series, we focus on Nigeria. We report our main findings about the current state and evolution over time of remote sensing in Nigerian universities, with a focus on identifying high-impact institutions and key drivers of educational and research productivity nationally. With similar previous studies already being carried out at the global, European, and national Italian levels, this article brings the essential details from a country and region previously not considered into this study.
