2024 Spring Training Workshop on Spatiotemporal Innovation

Date: 

Mon - Mon, Jan 15 to Jan 22, 7:00pm - 9:00pm

Location: 

Online

As an effort to promote replicable technology for spatial data analysis, the Spatial Data Lab concluded a highly productive Spatiotemporal Innovation Workshop in early 2024, which provided an extensive introduction to the KNIME Analytics Platform as well as its applications. This online event, held from January 15 to January 18 with a concluding lab/group report on January 22, 2024, brought together 27 participants and 5 instructors from various academic and professional backgrounds.

Throughout the four-day workshop, participants received detailed training on KNIME technology, including Geospatial Extension, WebPortal, GeoAI, and case studies on business and economy, environment, health, social media and remote sensing data applications. Participants were divided into five groups for practice projects, with each group receiving dedicated technical support. The final presentations of the group projects were particularly notable for the exceptional work produced by the groups, which not only demonstrated the effective technology for training but also helped establish collaborations on future research.
