GeoVITe – Interdisciplinary use of geodata
Electronic maps and geodata are playing an increasingly important role in research and teaching. From cartography to environmental sciences to architecture and social sciences: spatial data are the basis and enable interdisciplinary research. The course introduces you to this cross-thematic function of geodata using the example of GeoVITe, shows you research and work examples and refers you to other platforms for spatial data.
