Description

Ordnance Survey, together with Land Registry, recently launched the latest GeoVation Challenge:

‘How can we enable people in Britain to live in better places?’

A share of £101,000 of funding is available for entrants that submit successful ideas that address the problems associated with long-term housing issues we’ve identified, and which use geography, technology and good design. All entrants to the GeoVation Housing Challenge must demonstrate how they will use Ordnance Survey open or paid for data and Land Registry licensable data in their business ventures.

To support the challenge and to help people gain a greater understanding of open data and the tools and techniques to use open datasets, we’re hosting a further series of our free masterclasses, at five locations across England and Wales.

The class in Swansea is kindly supported by Software Alliance Wales:

SAW logoThe class in Swansea, which is kindly supported by Software Alliance Wales, will teach you how to use Ordnance Survey, Land Registry, Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Government open data to address the following two GeoVation housing issue themes …

• Affordability

• Accessibility & Infrastrucutre

The overriding goal of the masterclass is to combine the open data, in order to identify where affordable housing is accessible in areas of lower deprivation for the average household.


IMPORTANT - course requirements:

  • Delegates must bring their own (ideally Wi-Fi enabled) laptop
  • iPads, tablets and mobile devices will not be suitable for the masterclass
  • Secure or ‘locked down’ corporate or public sector laptops may not be suitable, due to security limitations potentially preventing you from loading the necessary software (needed to complete the course) onto the machine, so please check this beforehand.


We are able to offer up to 40 places at each masterclass, which will run from 9.30am until 4.00pm each day.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
