«The next Spatial Data Science Seminar is scheduled for June 6, 2025, in Room 3.23 of the Mining Engineering Building, at Instituto Superior Técnico – Alameda Campus.

Have you ever wondered why a phenomenon occurs in a specific location? What tools do we have to model and predict phenomena with a significant spatial component? Spatial Data Science offers insights into these questions.

Spatial Data Science is an interdisciplinary field that integrates traditional data science methods—such as Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence—with spatial analysis methodologies, including Geographic Information Systems, Geostatistics, and Remote Sensing. This combination enables us to understand, characterise, and manage big spatial data.

These tools are essential for fields that require advanced predictions, such as human behaviour modeling, pandemic dynamics, extreme climatic events, and oceanographic applications. In fact, spatial data science plays a crucial role in the IT core business of companies like Google, Uber, and Amazon.

This seminar explores various methods and applications of Spatial Data Science, aiming to foster collaboration and strengthen synergies between research centres in this rapidly growing field.

Participation is free, but registration is required.»
