Objectives
This conference organized by ESA will explore the emerging challenges and opportunities faced by the EO scientific community to respond to the new paradigm of EO Open Science .The conference will also present how ESA is facilitating the exploitation of EO data in a collaborative, cross-disciplinary, and open way, to make the most of the large volume of complex and diverse data delivered by the new generation of EO missions and in particular the Sentinels. EO Open Science offers an enormous potential for researchers to share knowledge, access and make use of EO data in a global network of communities.
In particular, the main objectives of the conference are to :
- Gather and foster the emerging EO Open Science scientific community,
- Provide a forum for scientists and value-adding players to present activities relevant to the EO Open Science themes,
- Provide a forum for international exchange on EO Open Science and for scientists to formulate community recommendations,
- Present large-scale international initiatives in the domain of EO Open Science,
- Consult scientists to prepare future ESA scientific Exploitation Elements activities supporting EO Open Science.
Participation
The conference is open to:
- Scientists, educators, developers and students working in the fields covered by EO Science,
- Representatives from National, European and International space and value adding industry interested in the new EO Science approach and activities.
