The advanced workshops are a week-long hands-on activity that exposes participants to advanced techniques/approaches in specialized areas. Participants are expected to have a suitable background or have participated in a prior Summer School part of of this activity.

• Foundations of Urban Data Science and Geospatial Analytics (data integration, ethics and FAIR data principles).
• Urban Data Creation, Integration, and Analysis Techniques (using tools like QGIS, Google Earth Engine, on spatial data modelling, urban land use change detection, and visual analytics).
• Health, Mobility, and Sustainability (mapping and tracing disease, mobility patterns).
• Predictive Modeling and Decision Support for Smart Cities (machine learning models to forecast urban dynamics e.g population growth, infrastructure, climate change and health risk).

• FAIR ocean data stewardship through enhanced discoverability of metadata, sharing of best practices, co-developing standards, and dataset documentation.
• Ocean observation to data services using real workflows from acquisition to dissemination via platforms like ODIS and GLOSS.
• Applied ocean data analytics with open-source platforms to facilitate modelling of coastal dynamics & processes for data-driven decision making
• Marine biodiversity data practices using OBIS for species distribution mapping, data submission, and regional ecosystem assessments.
