Australian Workshop on Spatial Methods
12 April 2025, Saturday, Online
The Australian Workshop on Spatial Methods serve as a dynamic platform for professionals and researchers from Australia, China, and beyond to engage in exploring and exchanging innovative ideas in spatial theories and methods.
The workshops provide a collaborative environment where attendees can gain valuable insights into the latest developments and applications of spatial methods across various disciplines, including geospatial analysis, geosciences, Earth observations, geospatial intelligence, urban studies, ecology, environment, health, and social science.
Whether you are senior experts or young professionals, the workshop provides invaluable opportunities to network, learn, and contribute to the advancement of spatial analysis methodologies on a global scale.
