Learn how to build powerful *interactive maps and web mapping applications in R* in our live online course *Interactive Maps with tmap & Shiny (IMTS01)*. https://prstats.org/course/interactive-maps-with-tmap-shiny-imts01/ *Instructor* - Dr. Martijn Tennekes (author of the tmap package) Interactive maps are increasingly used for exploring spatial data, communicating results, and building decision-support tools. This course provides practical training in creating interactive maps using the *tmap* package and integrating them into *Shiny applications*, allowing you to turn spatial analyses into dynamic web-based tools. Interactive mapping frameworks such as tmap enable users to visualise spatial patterns and explore datasets through map layers, zooming, and dynamic interaction. Participants will learn how to build interactive mapping workflows that can be deployed as dashboards, data exploration tools, or web applications. *The course covers:* - Foundations of interactive spatial data visualisation in R - Creating interactive maps using the *tmap* package - Working with spatial data using packages such as *sf* - Building user interfaces and reactive elements with *Shiny* - Integrating maps into interactive dashboards - Exporting and deploying web-based mapping applications Through hands-on exercises and real datasets, participants will gain practical experience designing interactive maps and building simple Shiny applications for spatial data exploration and communication. Delivered live online, the course offers direct interaction with the instructor, opportunities to ask questions, and discussion of real research or data visualisation applications. All participants receive course materials, example code, and post-course support. *Course details* Dates: 27-29 May 2026 Duration: 3 days (approximately 5 hours per day) Format: Live online Fee: ?350 This course is suitable for postgraduate students, researchers, analysts, and professionals who want to develop practical skills in building interactive maps and spatial dashboards in R.
