Programme:
Introduction and general concepts. Nuria Rodríguez Ortega.
2. Data research. Bárbara Romero Ferrón and María Ortiz Tello. Students will learn how to apply data science techniques to analyse large volumes of information, identifying relevant patterns and trends in text and other types of data.
3. Georeferencing technologies. María Marcos Cobaleda. The use of georeferencing technologies will be introduced to contextualise historical and cultural data in complex maps and cartographies, facilitating a spatial understanding of the phenomena studied.
