Bologna/DIGITARCH Summer School
On September 14-15, 2023 the lessons and hands-on session about OpenStreetMap for the DIGITARCH Summer School took place at University of Bologna in collaboration with Wikimedia Italia.
Mission and goals
The short course aims to provide some hands-on training in open and collaborative mapping to contribute to the general diffusion of open data in the geospatial field. This will be achieved by engaging DIGITARCH's students in some practical laboratory sessions in OpenStreetMap and its related tools.
