GIS Institute Applications Being Accepted

Enrollment is now open for the semi-annual GIS Institute, June 1-13, 2009 offered by the Spatial Structures in the Social Sciences initiative.

The institute will provide two weeks of intensive training in tools for analysis and visualization of spatial relationships. Topics range from cartography to spatial statistics. With guidance from faculty and staff, participants will learn to apply GIS to a problem of their choosing.

The Institute is free. It is a cooperative activity of S4 along with the University Libraries, Earthlab, and PSTC.

Space is limited and an online application is required:http://www.s4.brown.edu/gis.

The deadline for applying is 4/22/09. 

Graduate students, post-docs, faculty, and staff are eligible to enroll. We particularly encourage participation by doctoral students who may have a use for these skills in their research. Additional details are available on the webpage and on the attached flyer.
