<p>On the 26th of June we will be having an evening of grilling
following a 20 minute talk by Dr. Anthony Robinson, Associate
Professor at Penn State. His research focuses on cartography,
geography, visual analytics and online learning and he will be
talking about viral maps.</p>
<p><strong>Guest Speaker</strong>: <a

<p><strong>Overview</strong>: It’s now quite possible to create and
share a map that is seen by thousands of people around the world
with minimal effort. Maps that begin to spread rapidly via social
media can be considered examples of viral cartography. In recent
research, we have been working in the GeoVISTA Center at Penn
State on developing new ways to analyze and understand maps in
social media. In this talk I will show some of the progress we’ve
made so far in analyzing and visualizing elements of design,
dissemination, and disinformation related to viral maps.</p>
<p><strong>date</strong>: Wednesday, 26th June</p>
<p><strong>time</strong>: 18:30h talk, 19:00h grilling</p>
<p><strong>place</strong>: <a href="https://ideaslab.sbg.ac.at/">iDEAS:lab</a>,
Schillerstrasse 30, Techno-Z, Building/Bauteil XV [grilling

<p>We will be meeting again at the <a
