The main objective of this workshop is to introduce the attendees to the theoretical background of Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS), current real-world implementations with exemplary use cases. In the subsequent discussion, we aim for an interactive exploration of additional use cases and the convergence of DGGS with traditional GIS and Spatial Analysis methods for non-expert impactful adoption of DGGS.

The workshop consisted of several parts:

1. Alexander Kmoch - DGGS theory and cell area properties of different DGGSs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_n7-FPxg3s
2. Perry Peterson - Demo of PYXIS DGGS software https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_YUxwH9v8g
3. Matthew Purss - OGC DGGS standardization efforts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QwrWfEfSwA
4. Grid generation, data indexing and sampling with DGGRID
5. Python spatial analysis with H3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0iG4uDpEpg
6. More fun with DGGS geometries and rHealPix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZ4lzgp1bBw
7. Panel Discussion with experts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efMHtNoW3e0
