1 | # Spatial Data Science across Languages (SDSL) 2024

7 | ## Goals
8 |
9 | Spatial data science, using the words of Luc Anselin (2019), is _a data science that treats location, distance, and spatial interaction as core aspects of the data and employs specialised methods and software to store, retrieve, explore, analyse, visualise and learn from such data_. While this definition can be a bit long, it is, first and foremost, precise. Although the foundation of spatial data science revolves around the location and spatial dimension of data, its essence lies in the __code__, often written in R, Julia, or Python. At the core of this code are libraries and packages that support every aspect of the work. These tools are being developed by diverse communities that occasionally stretch across languages but oftentimes stick to their own. The _Spatial Data Science across Languages_ workshop aims to bridge this language barrier and bring these communities together to discuss their differences and commonalities and find ways to discuss, cooperate, and synchronise the efforts.
10 |
11 | The [first installment of the workshop](https://r-spatial.org/sdsl/), which was held in 2023 in Münster, Germany, has opened many topics. The second workshop aims to follow up on some of those and touch others that did not get enough attention the last time. At the same time, it will pick up the latest developments in the field and discuss where it should lead next.
12 |
13 | The topics you may expect to be part of the discussion include:
14 |
15 | - Apache Arrow, GeoArrow, and its cross-language ecosystem
16 | - Communities and governance models
17 | - Data structures and their properties
18 | - Funding mechanisms
19 | - Interoperability between packages and languages
20 | - Learning resources and teaching methods
21 | - Rise of Rust as a modern language behind the scenes
22 | - Spatial statistics and ML
23 | - Spherical geometry, the flatness of the world, and how to deal with it
24 | - Trajectory data and movement analysis
25 |
26 | However, the list is not exhaustive or fixed.
27 |
28 | The goal of the workshop is to attract a maximum of 30 on-site attendees.
29 |
30 | ## Venue
31 |
32 | The workshop will be held Sept 18 & 19, 2024, at the [Geographical Institute of the Charles University](https://www.natur.cuni.cz/geography/geographical-institute?set_language=en).

62 | ## Registration
63 |
64 | The registration for in-person attendance is now closed due to capacity reasons. Registration for online attendance is still open. Please register using the [registration form](https://forms.gle/WLnJYXTCRqdCJ6Bk8).
65 | If you believe we should secure an additional in-person spot for you, reach out to Martin.
66 |
67 | The registration fees for on-site participation:
68 |
69 | - 150 euro (industry)
70 | - 75 euro (academic)
71 | - 25 euro (student)
72 |
73 | The fees will be primarily used to cover the cost of catering for on-site participants. Payment details will be shared with the registered participants soon. In some circumstances, we may be able to waive the fee. Please indicate the request in the form and we will follow up with you.
74 |
75 | Note that the number of participants is limited.
76 |
77 | ### Online Attendance
