There is an increasing international trend towards using powerful geospatial technologies such as geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing (RS — Earth observation data) (GIS&RS) in various applications. The Erasmus+ SUFOGIS project proposes a “knowledge-competence-skills based” innovative approach that is being developed in close collaboration between Russian, Chinese and EU partners. This paper focuses on a comparative analysis of the findings of two separate national surveys conducted by SUFOGIS partners in Russia and China, on the uptake and use of GIS&RS in the fields of forestry and ecology. From the analysis of the questionnaires and considering the type of institution from which the respondents come from, two main categories were identified: academic institutions (universities, colleges and research institutes) and companies (governmental and private). The results of the survey clearly demonstrate widespread use of GIS&RS in both non-EU countries and relatively high rate of expertise of the respondents. However, it was also found that there is still significant room for improvement in the use of GIS&RS in both countries. Examples are exploration of their integration into even more forestry and ecology applications as well as training of staff on advanced and specialized topics.
