Caroline Zeimes (UCL, Belgium) has kindly contributed a Good Beginners overview of ESRI's ArcGIS. The tutorial/exercise outlines the basic features of ArcMap and ArcCatalog. How to utilise the help documentation, and how to display points and symbolise data among other things.
For those EDEnext partners who are working with QGIS on the EDENext Distance learning course. This exercise would be a good starting place if you would like to transfer the skills you have learnt with QGIS and use them within the ESRI suite of GIS software.

The EDENext PhD & PostDoc meeting is currently underway at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. Twenty-six PhD students and postdocs will be presenting today and tomorrow.

The EDENext conference will then decide who will win the Presentation competition and the first prize of a significant contribution to visiting a International conference of their own choice.
