Capstone: Create Value from Open Data
The Capstone project is an individual assignment. Participants decide the theme they want to explore and define the issue they want to solve. Their “playing field” should provide data from various sectors (such as farming and nutrition, culture, economy and employment, Education & Research, International & Europe, Housing, Sustainable, Development & Energies, Health & Social, Society, Territories & Transport). Participants are encouraged to mix the different fields and leverage the existing information with other (properly sourced) open data sets. Deliverable 1 is the preliminary preparation and problem qualification step. The objectives is to define the what, why & how. What issue do we want to solve? Why does it promise value for public authorities, companies, citizens? How do we want to explore the provided data? For Deliverable 2, the participant needs to present the intermediary outputs and adjustments to the analysis framework. The objectives is to confirm the how and the relevancy of the first results. Finally, with Deliverable 3, the participant needs to present the final outputs and the value case. The objective is to confirm the why. Why will it create value for public authorities, companies, and citizens. Assessment and grading: the participants will present their results to their peers on a regular basis. An evaluation framework will be provided for the participants to assess the quality of each other’s deliverables.

Urbanisation and Health - Promoting Sustainable Solutions
More than half of world’s population lives in cities while only 5% did so in the 18th century. The rapid urbanisation has resulted in for example inadequate infrastructure, physical inactivity, gentrification, air pollution, and growing numbers of slum dwellers. All factors challenging health and wellbeing of the people living in the cities. In addition, when addressing climate change it has become of paramount importance to look at mitigation and adaptation investments tailored to the urban context. As stated in the Sustainable Development Goal 11 adopted by all United Nations member states in 2015, societies need to be at the forefront in the continuous management and design of urban spaces to secure that cities and human settlements are inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. In this course, you will learn about the key determinants of urban health including demography, climate change, air pollution, noise, transport systems, public and blue and green spaces, and policies and investments affecting sense of community and public safety. You will get a historical overview of the major trends in urban planning and meet a range of stakeholders in urban planning who will provide examples of innovative methods and people-centered approaches to create sustainable solutions. Finally, you will be provided with a series of resources to inspire you to help create awareness and action around an idea or sustainable solution in the field of urbanisation and health. The course has been developed (with support from EIT Health) in a partnership between the University of Copenhagen, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and University of Coimbra. Researchers and stakeholders in urban planning will introduce you to cases from cities in Denmark, Spain, Portugal and many other urban settings across the world. The aim of the course is to further interdisciplinary knowledge on urbanisation and health. We plan for the courses to reach citizens and activists as well planners, practitioners and decision-makers with a professional interest in sustainable urban planning from countries around the world.

Space is Everywhere
You are here! Welcome to Course 4 - Space is Everywhere and the last course of this specialization. You are on the final stretch of this journey to finding your Pathway to Space. The topics of Course 4 span four weeks and nine lessons with 36 learning objectives. This course contains some of my most favorite aha moments in the the entire specialization. I hope that you find them and that they impact you in a positive way. We will discuss how space is communicated through news, art, movies, books, music and more. Space is everywhere in our lives and therefore everyone can be involved in it. So keep up the pace. You can do this. Your reward awaits you, finding your pathway to space. Week 1 - We will start with Space in Journalism with Paul Daugherty where Paul and I will discuss the importance of communicating science and space matters in an engaging and accurate way. Space and Music, with Dr. Jay Keister, explores role music has had and continues to have in our perceptions of space. Both lessons are eye and ear opening. Week 2 - This week includes two special discussions centered around art. To bring the wonder of space and the science we do to everyone is best done through art. In the Art of Space, Erin Espelie and I discuss the significance of art as effective tool to inspire those interested in space to pursue and/or question it further. Erin is filmmaker and created a film just for this course. Joby Harris and I discuss the significance of Visualizing Space Exploration in his lesson. Joby uses many tools to bring a space mission to life well before it has even been funded. He explains his process and demonstrates some of his creativity in a interesting demonstration. Week 3 - In this time of history, movies and tv shows play a large role in the visual entertainment of humans and some animals. However before this medium, writings played that role. In this week's lesson we discuss both. With Scott Millspaugh's lesson on Space Through the Ages, we discuss how space and it's influence on society was captured and communicated over great periods of time. And how some of these beliefs lasted over a thousand years. In Space and Movies, Dr. Ernesto Acevedo Muñoz and I discuss the movie that changed everything when it comes to space as well as those before and after. Week 4 - The last week of lessons. I purposely put them at the end as I feel they are a fitting way to end to this specialization. In Science Fiction, Dr. William Kuskin and I revisit the concept of Space and Wonder and its influence on our imagination. How the power of imagination generates hope for all that wield it. In One Pathway to Space, I walk you through a journey in rocket history and connect that history to one book that shaped humanity's future in space. And last but not least, we end the course and this specialization with one final goodbye to the crew and the USS Pathway to Space. In addition, I have arranged for a very special VIP transporter. It is truly the end but it is also just the beginning. Enjoy!

The Worldview of Thomas Berry: The Flourishing of the Earth Community
Thomas Berry (1914-2009) was a historian of world religions and an early voice awakening moral sensibilities to the environmental crisis. He is known for articulating a “new story” of the universe that explores the implications of the evolutionary sciences and cultural traditions for creating a flourishing future. This course investigates Berry’s life and thought in relation to the Journey of the Universe project. It draws on his books, articles, and recorded lectures to examine such ideas as: the New Story, the Great Work, and the emerging Ecozoic era. The course explores Berry’s insights into cosmology as a context for locating the human in a dynamic unfolding universe and thus participating in the creative work of our times. In particular, we will examine Berry’s reflections on renewal and reform in the areas of ecology, economics, education, spirituality, and the arts. Course Rationale: Thomas Berry was an original, creative, and comprehensive thinker, especially regarding the critical nature of our global environmental crisis. His intellectual importance resides in his response to the ecological crisis by bringing together the humanities and science in an evolutionary narrative. In addition, he articulated the need for the moral participation of the world religions in addressing environmental issues. He came to this realization largely through his study of cosmologies embedded within religious traditions. Sensing the significance of these stories as “functional cosmologies” he explored the widespread influence that these stories transmitted through a tradition, for example, in rituals, ethics, and subsistence practices.

Track, Export and Dashboard in Jira
Does this sound familiar? You’re responsible for a project’s success. Stakeholders, managers, and team members look to you for answers. They ask what seem like simple questions: "Are we on track to meet the deadline?" "What is the team working on right now?" "Where are the bottlenecks?" And your heart sinks. Not because you don't know, but because finding the answers feels like an impossible archeological dig. You know the data is in there somewhere, buried deep within your project management tool, but you don't know how to get it out. You find yourself spending hours manually combing through tasks, copying and pasting updates into a spreadsheet, and trying to cobble together a status report that feels outdated the moment you send it. You’re flying blind, making educated guesses when you should be making data-driven decisions. This gap between having data and having insight is one of the most stressful and inefficient aspects of modern project management. It undermines your confidence, erodes stakeholder trust, and leaves you feeling reactive when you should be proactive. The truth is, project management tools are not just digital to-do lists; they are powerful databases. The ability to unlock, interpret, and visualize the data within them is no longer a "nice-to-have" skill—it is a core competency for any effective project leader, team lead, or ambitious professional. Track, Export and Dashboard in Jira is your guide to crossing this chasm. This beginner-level course is designed to teach you the fundamental principles of effective project monitoring and data visualization, even if you don't have administrative control over the tool itself. We will demystify the process of transforming raw project data into clear, actionable, and persuasive insights. This course isn't about learning to click buttons; it's about learning to think like an analyst so you can tell the story of your project with clarity and confidence. Through a series of expert-led demonstrations, high-quality screencasts, and practical, scenario-based exercises, you will embark on a three-part journey from data chaos to dashboard clarity. First, you will learn to see your project through different lenses. A project isn't a single, static thing; it's a dynamic system. We will teach you how to interpret the three primary project views to diagnose its health from multiple angles. You'll learn to read a List View to conduct detailed, granular analysis of individual tasks. You'll master the Board View (Kanban) to understand workflow, instantly spot bottlenecks where tasks are piling up, and visualize the team's progress through different stages. Finally, you'll analyze the Timeline View (Gantt) to grasp dependencies between tasks, understand critical path, and assess the realism of your deadlines. You will no longer see just a list of tasks; you will see a living, breathing system. Next, you will master the art of unlocking your data by tracking and exporting it. Effective reporting begins with consistent tracking. You'll learn the concepts behind why tracking key fields like 'status,' 'assignee,' and 'due date' is the non-negotiable foundation for all meaningful analysis. More importantly, you will learn how to liberate this data from the system. We will teach you how to define precise requirements for exporting project data. This is a critical skill for anyone who needs to create custom reports. You'll learn exactly what to ask for, enabling you to get the specific data you need to answer complex questions. We'll show you how to take a raw CSV export and, using universally accessible tools like Google Sheets or Excel, create powerful external reports, pivot tables, and charts that tell a clear story, tailored to your audience. The final and most transformative part of this course is learning to build your personal command center: the dashboard. A dashboard is the ultimate tool for proactive project management. It’s the difference between having to hunt for information and having critical insights delivered to you in real-time. You will learn the principles of effective dashboard design, moving beyond default settings to create a customized view that is perfectly aligned with your goals. We will guide you through the process of selecting and configuring the right gadgets to visualize every aspect of your project: - Track your personal workload with gadgets that show you exactly what’s on your plate. - Monitor overall project health with pie charts that give you an at-a-glance breakdown of tasks by status—how many are 'To Do,' 'In Progress,' and 'Done'? - Visualize team workload to ensure tasks are distributed evenly and no one is overloaded. - Analyze key metrics with burn-down charts to see if you are on track to meet your sprint or project goals. By the end of this course, you will have evolved from a passive project participant into a data-driven project analyst. You will possess the analytical skills to track work with precision, specify targeted data exports for custom reporting, and design effective dashboards that turn data into decisions. You will be able to walk into any status meeting armed not with guesses, but with clear, visual evidence of your project's progress, risks, and successes. You will finally have the tools and the confidence to stop managing chaos and start leading with clarity.
