As part of the GeoNext conference running in Sydney this month, the Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network (AURIN) will be running a free post-conference workshop on Thursday 27th February.

AURIN facilitates urban researchers to rapidly access a multitude of Australian datasets that can be downloaded, interrogated, visualised and analysed through a variety of open source components.

This workshop introduces participants to the AURIN Portal, and offers them the chance to explore the open data services and spatial tools currently available on the system. Participants will be able to explore different states and cities across Australia, and zoom into suburbs to discover information on an area’s demographics, socio-economics, politics, health, and more.

The workshop includes a number of hands-on exercises where participants can shop for data, run spatial analysis and statistics, visualise outputs, and explore the advanced urban modelling and simulation tools the system has to offer.

Dr Jack Barton, the Urban Data and eResearch Facilitator for AURIN, will lead this session.

Who Should Attend?

The AURIN workshop will be of interest to e-Researchers who work with any aspect of the urban environment: Government/governance, demographics, socio-economics, health, geographic visualisation or urban planning/design.

 

Places for this workshop are strictly limited and registration is essential. Please contact Jack Barton at john.barton@unimelb.edu.au or +61 3 9035 4206 to reserve a place.

 

GeoNext will take place on the 26th February 2014, the day before the workshop. You can find out more about the GeoNext program at the GeoNext website.
