Workshops

GIF workshops offer hands-on applications oriented training in a variety of geospatial topics. We have a number of workshops that we may offer throughout the year, view a detailed listing of all of the workshops in our curriculum, and keep an eye on our schedule for timing.

Additional workshops may be added during the semester based on demand, so check back often. Please contact us if you want to take a geospatial workshop that you don't see scheduled here, or if you missed a previously scheduled workshop. In addition to the listings below, GIF workshop schedules may be found on the workshop calendar

Workshops fees are $57 for all UC students (graduate and undergraduate), faculty, and staff; $153 for all non-UC affiliates. Undergraduate students can apply for financial assistance to take a workshop through the GIF Undergraduate Scholarship Program.

  1. Fill out the online registration form.
  2. Fill out a GIF User Form, and have your PI sign it with a charge string.
