Visualising Urban Social Context in Patras, Greece [Video]
January 22, 2015As part of my ongoing research, I have been collecting Foursquare check-in data for the city of Patras since June 2012. Recently I made a short video that shows the spatial analysis of these check-ins for two months (21/11/2014-21/1/2015) and depicts the city's urban social context for that period.

October 7, 2014BEST Patras Summer Course 2014 took place in Patras, Greece on 13-23th of July. Together with the students running the local BEST chapter, we organised this summer course involving 24 students from all over Europe.
