Digital mapping 2 days short courses (22-23 november 2022):
1° day course for beginners “From Open Data to Digital maps”
2° day advanced course for “Digital Mapping for Sustainable and Resilient Communities Facing Water Extremes”
Digital maps are powerful means for knowledge development, decision-making, scientific dissemination and information sharing to/from experts and citizens. Open Data, Big Data and Citizen Science allows observing, monitoring and understanding natural and anthropic processes through new lens. Smart phones, drones, webcams – among the many low cost technologies available to date – provide new data and unveil perspectives that did not exist before. Geospatial and location intelligence, and web based interfaces empower data visualization tools in a dynamic geospatial context to provide increasingly efficient infographics on several multidisciplinary topics including, but not limited to, urban and environmental sustainability.
The 2 days courses are organized for students and professionals who will learn and work to develop data analytics, infographics and digital maps on the sustainable and resilient communities facing water extremes.
The two events are organized by the Water Resources Research & Documentation Center (WARREDOC), from the degree course Made In Italy, Cibo e Ospitalità (MICO), from the degree course Comunicazione internazionale e pubblicitaria (ComIP) and Ufficio Orientamento dell’Università per Stranieri di Perugia in collaboration with Consorzio per il Canale Emiliano Romagnolo, Consiglio per la Ricerca in Agricoltura e l’Analisi dell’Economia Agraria (CREA), Associazione Nazionale Bonifiche e Irrigazioni (ANBI), Fondazione Earth and Water Agenda (Fondazione EWA), One World One Water Center (OWOW) (Metropolitan State Univ. of Denver & Denver Botanic Gardens), GeosmartCampus (media partner) and spinoff GRIDDIT from Università per Stranieri di Perugia.
Selected projects from the “Digital Mapping for Sustainable and Resilient Communities Facing Water Extremes” Competition will receive a certificate, and a best project award, will be presented at the closing session of the workshop.
