The Global Metropolitan Studies Program and the Division of Data Science are pleased to sponsor a workshop on a platform for collecting and analyzing such data. The workshop will introduce participants to e-mission, an open-source platform for collecting human travel data. The course is intended for students and researchers across a variety of fields. Attend this workshop to learn open source techniques, details about the e-mission platform, and brainstorm about enhancements to the system.
