QGIS is a free open-source program that runs on PC, Mac and Linux systems. The EGRU QGIS workshops are designed for intermediate and experienced users of GIS.

This workshop will comprise

• An introduction to the various features of QGIS
• Extensive hands-on sessions using QGIS to create maps and to demonstrate the import and
  display of various types of data (vector, raster, geological, geochemical, geophysical, and
  satellite imagery).
