Spatial Data Science For Professionals APPLY here!

We live in a world where the importance and availability of spatial data are ever increasing. Today’s marketplace needs trained spatial data analysts who can: compile disparate data from multiple sources; use easily available and open technology for robust data analysis, sharing, and publication; apply core spatial analysis methods; and utilize visualization tools to communicate with project managers, the public, and other stakeholders. To help meet this demand, International and Executive Programs (IEP) and Geospatial Innovation Facility (GIF) are hosting a 3-day intensive bootcamp on Spatial Data Science on March 23-25, 2016 at UC Berkeley. With this Spatial Data Science Bootcamp for professionals, you will learn how to integrate modern Spatial Data Science techniques into your workflow through hands-on exercises that leverage open source and cloud/webbased technologies. To apply and for more information, please visit the IEP website. Limited space available. Application due on February 19th, 2016.
