The iDEAS:lab is an interactive laboratory for research-based learning at all levels, geoinformatics experiments and the general public. Equipped with innovative Digital Earth technologies, the focus is on the interface between real and virtual worlds. The iDEAS:lab offers modules that make Digital Earth research accessible and invite to actively explore Digital Earth technologies. These modules are presented in four different labs, focussing on specific target groups

• Schools Lab: Providing Digital Earth know-how to students of different age groups
• Research Lab: project-oriented experimental platform and university courses
• Open Science Lab: Access to Digital Earth for interested parties and the general public
• Transfer Lab: Cooperation with business partners and start-ups

• Positioning: The background, capabilities and difficulties of satellite positioning
• Spatial analysis of social media: How can my posts be used for the analysis of events with spatial characteristics?
• Citizen Science: What do I need to build an easy to use weather station?
• Geoadventure: Which technologies and methods are used in the wide world of Geoinformatics?
