Geo Data/ Referencing (with European Data)

The presentation was given as part of the CESSDA Training Days. The CESSDA Training Days were a two-day training event showcasing diverse training resources on both CESSDA tools and services. They took place on November 27 and 28, 2019, and were hosted by the GESIS – Leibniz-Institute for the Social Sciences in Cologne, Germany. All courses were held in English. The Training Days were supported by CESSDA Training, and were the first of what is to become a series of annual training events.

Serafeim Alvanides organized a challenging hands-on workshop with QGIS, an open-source geographic information system software – guiding all participants through the process of installing the software, finding, downloading and linking suitable geodata and producing visualizations for basic spacial analyses.
