• Urban micro­cli­mate mod­el­ling with SPACERGY 

PhD stu­dent Daniel­la Maiullari received last year’s Data Refine­ment Fund to pub­lish her CityGML 3D city mod­els of Almere’s new urban dis­trict in 4TU.ResearchData. 

Read more about how Daniela’s datasets sim­u­late the ener­gy and micro­cli­mate of the dis­trict to be show­cased at Flo­ri­ade 2022.

• ‘Python Essen­tials for GIS Learn­ers’: A tar­get­ed FAIR research work­shop 

Ash­ley Cryan and José Urra Llanusa from TU Delft’s Dig­i­tal Com­pe­tence Cen­tre devel­oped a 3‑day online work­shop to teach fun­da­men­tal con­cepts of pro­gram­ming with Python, ver­sion con­trol with Git, work­ing with the com­mand line, and how tools for each skill can be used to find, explore, pro­duce, and share FAIR geospa­tial data.

Read more about their expe­ri­ence, lessons learned and plans to deliv­er future work­shops!

• Cod­ing Con­fes­sions: Cel­e­brat­ing the SSI #COLLABW21 Hack Day Run­ners-up!

4TU.ResearchData’s data train­er, Eiri­ni Zorm­pa, and col­lab­o­ra­tors won sec­ond place for their project, ‘Cod­ing Con­fes­sions’, dur­ing the Soft­ware Sus­tain­abil­i­ty Institute’s Col­lab­o­ra­tion Work­shop Hack Day. The project invites you to con­fess your cod­ing errors and nor­malise fail­ure so that more peo­ple feel com­fort­able to share code!

Cod­ing con­fes­sions needs YOU!
