Datascience for NMCAS

2 - 3 June 2022 (Online)

This virtual event aimed to raise awareness and understanding of datascience within the context of NMCAs. By sharing datascience usecases, technical challenges in datascience projects and experiences of implementing datascience projects to production, this two-day workshop helped us to appreciate the impact, benefits and effect of datascience on the business processes of NMCAs.

All datascience projects in this event focused on geospatial data, for example: remote sensing, satellite and aerial imagery and LIDAR.

The workshop was aimed at staff members of NMCAs and researchers at NMCAs and academic institutions with an interest in datascience in the geospatial sector.

This free virtual workshop was spread over two half-day sessions on 2 & 3 June 2022.

Recordings: You can watch the recordings of the workshop here.
