Academic Solutions
Advancing Spatial Risk Science Through Research and Education
Simsi is committed to supporting academic excellence in spatial criminology, public health, and risk science. Our partnerships with universities and research institutions advance the theoretical foundations of our work while providing valuable tools for teaching, research, and applied projects
Classroom Integration
Simsi for Education provides faculty and students with access to our powerful analytical tools, creating hands-on learning experiences that bridge theory and practice. Our educational platform supports courses in criminology, public health, urban planning, emergency management, and related disciplines.
Thesis and Dissertation Projects
Simsi Scholar provides specialized assistance for graduate students conducting thesis or dissertation research in spatial risk science. Our program includes:
- Discounted access to the full Simsi analytical suite
- Technical consultation on research design
- Data visualization tools for compelling presentation of findings
- Opportunities to present research to Simsi’s practitioner network
Undergraduate Education
Introduce students to spatial risk concepts through intuitive interfaces that allow them to:
- Explore real-world environmental risk patterns
- Conduct basic spatial analyses without extensive GIS training
- Visualize complex spatial relationships through interactive maps
- Apply theoretical concepts to practical scenarios
Graduate Education
Support advanced coursework with professional-grade tools that prepare students for careers in research and practice:
- Implement sophisticated spatial models in applied contexts
- Design and evaluate place-based interventions
- Analyze multi-dimensional data to identify risk patterns
- Develop evidence-based strategies for real-world challenges
Our academic options include classroom packages, department-wide access, and campus-wide implementations to suit institutions of all sizes. Comprehensive teaching materials are available to support faculty integration.
Current Research Priorities
We actively seek academic partnerships in several priority areas:
- Methodological advances in spatial risk modeling
- Applications of risk terrain modeling in emerging domains
- Implementation science for place-based interventions
- Evaluation frameworks for environmental risk reduction
Join Our Academic Network
Simsi maintains an active network of academic partners across multiple disciplines and institutions. This community of scholars shares methodological innovations, research findings, and teaching approaches through regular symposia, webinars, and collaborative projects.
