4th workshop | Scaling up the sentinels in Europe

26 - 27 October 2020 (Online)

Objective of this webinar was to give a most actual and wide update about developments in relation to Sentinel satellites from Copernicus and ESA. Additionally, knowledge and experience from different national Collaborative Ground Segments (CGS) were presented. Presentations of active projects and innovations raised awareness of the possibilities and motivate ideas to make use of earth observation data making sure the scaling up phase in the programme has already started. The programme provided a mix of invited speakers and call for presentations, where users, operators and specialists in this domain could discuss their experiences. This interesting webinar was the latest in a series of four and was co-organized by representatives of EuroSDRNorwegian Space AgencyKU Leuven, the Norwegian Mapping Authority and the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate.
