Title: Using Spatial Data with R Shiny


Date: Thursday, August 3rd, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)


Speaker: Michael C. Rubin, is an Engineer, MIT Data Scientist and Co-Founder of Open Digital Agriculture (former ODAPES), a Start-up with the mission of democratizing Digital Agriculture. Open Digital Agriculture leverages R-Shiny, along with GIS technology and Artificial Intelligence to include the overlooked 540 Million smallholder farmers into the digital transformation. Michael was a 2 times speaker at the global R-Shiny conference.


Description: This workshop is about how to use R-Shiny in the context of geographic information systems (GIS). We will initially cover the R Leaflet package and learn how geographic information, from points to raster files, can be displayed in an R-Shiny app. During the work, we will develop a nice R-Shiny App, which allows us not only to display, but also to manipulate GIS related data. On the way there, we will touch some interesting Geostatistical concepts. Knowledge in R is required to follow the course and previous exposure to R-Shiny and some GIS techniques would be helpful, but you can follow the course even without it.
