DESCRIPTION:This workshop focuses on MobilityBank\, a global\, open\, and p
 rivacy-preserving initiative for sharing\, standardizing\, and analysing h
 uman mobility data. It aims to advance the collective vision of an interop
 erable and ethically governed data infrastructure that supports reproducib
 le research across disciplines.  \nBuilding on recent efforts such as the 
 OpenGPS initiative\, the workshop will bring together experts from geograp
 hy\, transport studies\, computer science\, and the social sciences to dis
 cuss how mobility data can be shared responsibly and used more effectively
  for scientific and societal benefit.  \n \nThe focus areas include:  \n-D
 esigning interoperable standards and metadata schemas for mobility data.  
 \n-Implementing FAIR principles (Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, R
 eusable).  \n-Applying privacy-preserving and federated data-sharing model
 s.  \n-Establishing governance frameworks and incentives for international
  data sharing.  \n-Envisioning a global MobilityBank Collective to sustain
  open collaboration.

DESCRIPTION:This workshop focuses on helping participants develop their dat
 a visualization skills through hands-on learning and short\, follow-along 
 tutorials. In the workshop\, real-life examples are broken down into speci
 fic design principles – the use of color\, typography\, layout\, data de
 nsity\, a clear visual focus\, and visually or topically supporting elemen
 ts. Using these principles\, the focus is on demonstrating specific design
  skills\, tips and tricks applicable in GIS\, design\, and programming sof
 tware. The workshop emphasizes transferable approaches that participants c
 an adapt to their own technical environments. The workshop covers a set of
  skills and easy-to-apply tips for improving visualizations\, with an emph
 asis on creating clear\, memorable maps and figures that translate complex
  geospatial data into a professional and readable format.

DESCRIPTION:AGILE has made significant steps towards more open and reproduc
 ible research (ORR) publications\, overall improving the quality of the sc
 ientific contributions from and for the community\, such as reproducible p
 ublications at the conference\, or reproducibility education at PhD school
 s. However\, recent observations have shown that the rate of improvement o
 f the conference papers‘ reproducibility has slowed. This begs the quest
 ion if a plateau has been reached\, while the benefits in terms of greater
  uptake of results has yet to materialize. This workshop aims to address b
 oth issues: whether a plateau has been reached in terms of reproducibility
 \, and if so\, what the implications are\; and what we can do to increase 
 uptake of established or new ORR practices in GIScience.

DESCRIPTION:This half-day workshop focuses on inclusive walkability data an
 d on how virtual auditing tools can be used to capture the built-environme
 nt features that matter for diverse pedestrian populations (e.g.\, childre
 n\, older adults facing age-related mobility restrictions\, people sensiti
 ve to heat or noise).  \n\nBefore the workshop\, the organisers will prepa
 re short lightning talks. These talks will introduce population groups wit
 h specific mobility needs\, highlight the built-environment features that 
 affect their walkability\, and outline the data attributes needed to descr
 ibe them. After this shared introduction\, the main part of the workshop w
 ill be hands-on group work with virtual auditing tools.

DESCRIPTION:Cities are becoming smart data ecosystems where earth observati
 on (EO)\, street-level imagery\, mobility traces\, volunteered geographic 
 information\, and administrative data can be aligned and integrated to und
 erstand urban forms and functions at an unprecedented scale. This workshop
  explores how Geospatial AI (GeoAI) can turn urban data into actionable ev
 idence for planning\, transport\, public health\, equity\, and climate res
 ilience\, based on advanced data\, methods\, and models (e.g.\, foundation
 -model embeddings\, geospatial representation learning\, and graph/transfo
 rmer-based models).

DESCRIPTION:EarthCODE (https://earthcode.esa.int) is a strategic ESA Earth 
 Observation initiative to support the adoption of Open Science practice in
  Earth System Sciences\, implementing the vision included in ESA’s EO Sc
 ience Strategy\,  Earth Science in Action for Tomorrow’s World (2024). T
 he initiative helps scientists publish\, discover\, explore\, reuse\, modi
 fy\, and build upon EO research outputs\, enabling reproducible workflows 
 on cloud-based EO environments and improving the utilisation of EO science
  mission data products for Earth Action.  \nEarthCODE provides access to o
 penly available\, FAIR ESA EO research including data and workflows across
  the major scientific themes: polar sciences\, land\, ocean\, atmosphere\,
  solid Earth\, and magnetosphere/ionosphere. \nThis hands-on workshop intr
 oduces participants to EarthCODE - guiding them through publishing\, searc
 hing\, finding\, and accessing ESA-funded research data. The workshop equi
 ps participants with the practical knowledge to leverage EarthCODE capabil
 ities for their own research and applications.
