During the GeoNode Configuration course, you will learn how to tailor GeoNode to the needs of your organization, such as setting user permissions, customizing the interface, managing metadata, and connecting external data sources. The course provides insight into optimizing GeoNode for developing geographic information systems (GIS) and establishing spatial data infrastructures (SDI).
Do you want not only to work with GeoNode, but also fully adapt the platform to the needs of your organization? In this course, you will learn how to configure and optimize GeoNode so you can set up a professional geoportal that perfectly matches your use case.
GeoNode is an open-source platform that is used worldwide to manage, publish, and share geodata. With powerful integrations such as GeoServer and PostGIS, GeoNode offers all the possibilities to make datasets and maps available online. But with the right configuration, you can do even more: customize the interface, refine user roles, set metadata standards, and create connections with external data sources.
In this course, you will discover step by step how to configure GeoNode and use it as a robust foundation for spatial data infrastructures (SDI), geoportals, and collaboration environments.
You will work with free open-source software, follow practical exercises, and develop skills you can immediately apply in your professional practice.
Note! Basic knowledge of GeoNode is required. For this, see the GeoNode Basics.
In this course, you will work hands-on with the core aspects of GeoNode configuration:
Whether you want to set up a geoportal for a municipality, develop an SDI for a research project, or create a secure environment for collaboration with partners – after this course, you will have the knowledge to configure GeoNode professionally.
This course goes beyond an introduction: you will learn not only how to use GeoNode, but how to truly shape and manage it. This makes the training stand out from standard GIS courses.
Everything is explained step by step, with clear examples and hands-on exercises. You don’t need programming knowledge – the focus is on configuration and management, so you can apply GeoNode directly in practice.
The course is designed for professionals and students who want to set up or manage a GeoNode environment. Whether you are a GIS specialist, system administrator, researcher, or policymaker – this training gives you the knowledge and skills to tailor GeoNode optimally to your organization.
This course is intended for anyone who wants to learn how to configure and manage GeoNode. Do you work in spatial planning, environmental management, research, education, or international collaboration? Then this course gives you the tools to set up a professional geoportal and make geodata sustainably and securely accessible.
You don’t need extensive technical knowledge. Thanks to the practical approach, you can get started right away. Already have experience with GeoNode or QGIS? Then this course will show you how to get even more out of the platform by fully configuring it to your situation.
You’ll receive 1-on-1 guidance. After signing up, our course coordinator will contact you to schedule your first session.
Do you have questions about the course content? Not sure if the course aligns with your learning objectives? Or would you prefer a private session or in-company training? We’re happy to assist—feel free to get in touch.
Yes, basic knowledge of GeoNode is required. We recommend completing the GeoNode Basics course first to ensure you are familiar with the platform’s core functions.
You will learn how to install and configure GeoNode, manage users and access rights, customize the interface, set up metadata standards, integrate external data sources, and ensure security and performance within a professional environment.
This course is designed for GIS specialists, system administrators, researchers, policymakers, and anyone who wants to configure and manage a GeoNode environment for their organization.
The course focuses on GeoNode, with integrations into key open-source GIS components such as GeoServer, PostGIS, and QGIS, showing you how to build a robust and secure spatial data infrastructure.
