Urban Institute Ireland in association with UCD Library is hosting an international workshop in Spatial Analysis Support on October 20/21st. This workshop will focus on the development of Spatial Analysis within UCD. There will be a number of international speakers from both academia and the library.

The Academic perspective will be given by Dr Michael Goodchild, from the University of Santa Barbara, California.
