GeoVITe: Exploring practices for research geodata
Electronic maps and geodata are becoming increasingly important in research and teaching. From cartography and environmental sciences to architecture and social sciences: geospatial data are the basis and the enabler of interdisciplinary research. The course introduces you to this interdisciplinary function of geospatial data using the example of GeoVITe, shows examples of research, work with research geodata and refers you to other platforms for geospatial data.
