Title: Spatial Data Wrangling with R: A Comprehensive Guide
Date: Thursday, April 6th, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)
Speaker: Long Nguyen is a PhD student at SOEP RegioHub at Bielefeld University. He likes to make pretty maps.
Description: This workshop is designed to provide a solid foundation for working with spatial data in R. Starting with fundamental concepts of spatial data types and structures, the workshop provides a systematic overview of techniques for manipulating spatial data, such as spatial aggregation, spatial joins, spatial geometry transformations, and distance calculations. With this focus, the workshop’s aim is to give participants a skill set that is easily extendable and transferable to new data and tools. The data wrangling techniques presented will be accompanied by instructions on creating maps – both static and interactive – to quickly explore and present the results of the operations performed.
Minimal registration fee: 20 euro (or 20 USD or 800 UAH)
How can I register?
- Go to https://bit.ly/3wvwMA6 or https://bit.ly/3PFxtNA and donate at least 20 euro. Feel free to donate more if you can, all proceeds go directly to support Ukraine.

- Fill in the registration form, attaching a screenshot of a donation receipt (please attach the screenshot of the donation receipt that was emailed to you rather than the page you see after donation).
If you are not personally interested in attending, you can also contribute by sponsoring a participation of a student, who will then be able to participate for free. If you choose to sponsor a student, all proceeds will also go directly to organisations working in Ukraine. You can either sponsor a particular student or you can leave it up to us so that we can allocate the sponsored place to students who have signed up for the waiting list.
How can I sponsor a student?
- Go to https://bit.ly/3wvwMA6 or https://bit.ly/3PFxtNA and donate at least 20 euro (or 17 GBP or 20 USD or 750 UAH). Feel free to donate more if you can, all proceeds go to support Ukraine!
- Save your donation receipt (after the donation is processed, there is an option to enter your email address on the website to which the donation receipt is sent)
- Fill in the sponsorship form, attaching the screenshot of the donation receipt (please attach the screenshot of the donation receipt that was emailed to you rather than the page you see after the donation). You can indicate whether you want to sponsor a particular student or we can allocate this spot ourselves to the students from the waiting list. You can also indicate whether you prefer us to prioritize students from developing countries when assigning place(s) that you sponsored.
If you are a university student and cannot afford the registration fee, you can also sign up for the waiting list here. (Note that you are not guaranteed to participate by signing up for the waiting list as only those students who are sponsored can participate). Since the number of sponsored places is usually lower than the number of people signing up for the waitlist, we ask you to sign up via the regular registration process to ensure your participation if you can.
You can also find more information about this workshop series, a schedule of our future workshops as well as a list of our past workshops which you can get the recordings & materials here.
Looking forward to seeing you during the workshop!
