Creating an Institution in CEO (pre-prepared)

If your institution is not yet signed up for CEO you can create a new institution which all your team members can join. (An institution has already been created for this workshop: “Trinidad and Tobago Geospatial Workshop”)

1. Log in to CEO.
2. Navigate to the Home page and click [Create New Institution’ on the left panel.
3. Enter your institution’s name, URL, and description.

You can edit the elements of your institution later. If you ever decide to delete the institution all projects within it will be lost.
