Creating maps and visualizing spatial data can be done quite easily today. The workshop shows how to create different kinds of maps that can be used as illustrations for your research, conference papers, or lecture slides for teaching. We will work with QGIS, an OpenSource, fully functional GIS software with sophisticated tools for map design.
The workshop will show how to create different kinds of maps and spatial visualizations for print and online use. It is designed for people with no or little prior experience in map making. If you bring your ideas and projects, we can build on this. The topics covered will follow the interests of the participants, like creating topographic and thematic maps (e.g. choropleths, heatmaps, diagrams), map series (atlas function), data driven visualization, symbolization and labelling as well as basic cartographic principles (colours, projections etc.).
Prerequisite
Bring your own device with a working installation of QGIS Desktop (preferably the newest LTR version: 3.38 «Prizren», no older than 3.34): https://www.qgis.org. You do not need any previous knowledge of QGIS, as the course is well suited for beginners.
