> The course ”Geoinformation in Society” focuses on the question how spatiotemporal information is used in society and how it can affect various groups (both in a positive and a negative way). For this purpose, we will discuss the representation and geographic visualization of spatio-temporal phenomena of societal relevancy. Visual thinking and visual communication facilitate the understanding of phenomena such as the digital divide, land change, resource depletion, epidemic spread and social exclusion.
> The course consists of three parts:
> • An introductory phase of five weeks, where participants will get an introduction to relevant conceptual and technical aspects;
> • A research phase of two weeks
> • Project work sessions where participants will work in small groups

> NOTE
