Unprecedented times call for unprecedented maps

A lot of maps have been created in the last months showing all kinds of statistics and impacts of the Coronavirus. Cartography MSc students of the 10th intake created their COVID-19 maps and presented their view on the pandemic within the Mapping Project course in a virtual Vernissage this week. The excellent achievements are diverse in style and content. Take a look and visit our Virtual Vernissage online: https://cartographymaster.eu/pandemic-on-maps-vernissage/

The Mapping Project is an elective module that aims at developing data visualization methods, prototypes, and cartographic designs using different tools and digital media. Within this course, students can choose a topic of their interest and focus on the development of their skills and abilities in problem-solving, team work, and on expanding their expertise and competence in the use and application of various technologies and media. This year, the students were asked to develop their own topic related to the pandemic.
