BDTI Skills Studio: An introduction to geospatial analytics

In this workshop, we will introduce geospatial data, explain why it is relevant, and show you how to build interactive geospatial applications. In the first part of the workshop, we will learn about the importance of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the different types of geospatial data (e.g. vector, raster, geo-temporal).

Then, we will demonstrate how to create an interactive data app using tools currently offered in BTDI to visualise different crime rates in selected European countries and cities.

All the tools used during these workshops are free to EU public administrations to experiment with data. Learn how to apply for BDTI here.
