A large part of the disciplines that work with the territory have been closely linked since their origins to the use of maps, necessary to carry out territorial analysis and diagnostics The widespread use of these "on paper" thematic maps has given way to a continuous digitization and vectorization of them, generating mapping information available in web servers and databases, forming the spatial data Infrastructures (EDIs). The use of this information requires a specific software that allows to display and process.
The choice for this course of free software (QGIS) intends that the students are familiarize with the way of working of the open source GIS programmes, which will lay the groundwork to use any other kind of software. Thus, it is intended to convey to the online community access to the most important digital cartographic information sources and some basic notions of the programs that allow its processing, with the purpose of enhancing their learning, make their work more efficient and to deepen in the use of Geographic Information Systems to develop their projects.

Francisco Emilio Molero Melgarejo
Engineer, Doctor and Professor of Roads, Canals and Ports at the University of Granada in the Department of Urban and spatial Planning of the E.T.S. Engineering of Roads, Canals and Ports.
He is a specialist in Urban planning, spatial Planning, Environment and Geographic Information Systems and a member of the Research Group called “Territorial Synergies” at the University of Granada. He has collaborated on several Urban Planning and Sustainable Mobility Plans and has been director of more than thirty Hydrological-Hydraulic Studies associated to the planning and in a great number of Environmental Impact Studies and Territorial Diagnostics. He has taught more than 50 training courses highly specialized in areas such as Geographic Information systems, river modeling in public and private entities among which we can highlight: EGMASA, Tragsatec, Foundation Institute for euro-Mediterranean Water, professional Association of Engineers of Roads, Channels and Ports, Assyce Group, IADEE Training, etc...
It is also worth noting his participation in the project of development of a Geographic Information System for the management of spaces and infrastructure for the Conservation service of the Board of trustees of the Alhambra, the distinction in several contests of ideas for projects of urban and territorial national and international level projects, and the publication of a dozen ofresearch articles in international journals.
His main lines of research are aimed at: The simulation in urban and territorial and The mapping of processes and flows applied to the planning.
Jorge Hernández Marín
Engineer of Roads, Canals, and Ports at the University of Granada and Master UNIGIS in Geographic Information Systems who is also a member of the Research Group “Territorial Synergies”, at the University of Granada.
He has worked as self-employed professional in the GIS sector and has performed works as a GIS technician and analyst in the private consulting field.
Founding partner and CEO of GIS4tech SL, a Spin-Off of the University of Granada, he works as a specialist in the application of Geographic Information Systems in Civil Engineering, especially in Water and Environment areas . Between the tasks carried out by him, the use of GIS is permanently involved. He has also participated in the drafting of projects, territorial diagnostics, environmental, impact studies, hydrological-hydraulic studies, data analysis and spatial networks, creation of DTMs using LIDAR technologies, the realization all kinds of maps (topographic, thematic, flows, processes, spatio-temporary, etc) that serve as the basis for the realization of projects and its planning.
He has conducted more than a dozen of training courses in Geographic Information Systems at all levels (from training at the basic level up to of highly specialized levels).
The course is 100% online through our intuitive virtual Campus, where we will learn the topics by:
It is worth noting the implementation of live video conferencing, where teachers and students interact in a continuous exchange of knowledge and resolution of doubts. These video calls will be recorded for the students to watch them later at any other time.
In addition, the student will be able to make use of the forum of the platform, a meeting point to interact with teachers and students.
It will establish a system of tutorials via email with the teaching team to resolve any possible doubts about the course and to serve as a link with the tprofessors to discuss specific issues of each module.
The course is intended for teaching staff, researchers, and professionals as well as students and ex-students of bachelor and Master's degrees in civil Engineering, Architecture, Civil Engineering, Environmental Science, Building Engineering, Geography, Geology, Anthropology, Political Science, and any other qualifications related to the Geographic Information Systems That be able to make queries, and basic operations with vector data and raster.
It can also be downloaded by the student and forwarded by e-mail, shared on social networks as well as embedded in any website.
This course will provide attendees with the basic and practical knowledge for the use in teaching and research as well as in the professional field of digital cartography, Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) and the Geographic Information Systems (GIS), as well as their numerous applications. In addition, it will train students for the realization of simple projects using GIS software whether raster as a vector.
If you are an active worker in Spain, this course can be free for you through the bonuses of the Tripartite Foundation for the Training on the Job.
The Blockchain technology allows that the certificate of execution and completion of the course is unique and imperishable, which enables companies to verify their authenticity.
