By giving these short courses, we hope to introduce the students to the basics of research data management and static website generation, as well as to the use and enrichment of communal resources of geographic information and structured data. The courses will be held at the Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, and conducted in Taiwanese Mandarin (and some English). After taking these courses, the interns will work on individual projects.
We are very grateful to our guest lecturers: Dennis Raylin Chen (Wikimedia Taiwan), Hsiung-Ming Liao (GIS Center, RCHSS, Academia Sinica), Te-En Lin (Taiwan Biodiversity Research Institute), and Yu-Huang Wang (Nature Watch Ecological and Environmental Consultancy).
This year the summer internship students are from the National Changhua University of Education, the National Chung Hsing University, the National Taiwan Normal University, and the University of British Columbia, Vancouver.
