Online V4 Conference on Earth Observations
Fri Jun 18 08:59:01 CEST 2021
This online June event is dedicated to the theme of "Earth Observations for citizens and the planet. V4 perspective on R&I contributions to the Copernicus programme".
The aim of the conference is to bring together a wide range of actors involved in research and innovation in the field of Earth Observations (EOs) – on both policy level and practitioners (RPOs) – with a particular focus on Visegrad Group. The event shall provide a framework to review a key role of research and innovation for the Copernicus programme.
Participants will learn about the coordinated European approach to maximize the use of EOs products and services to steer resilient and green transition for all Europeans and to safeguard our planet. In order to put a spotlight on the CEE space sector, a special session will feature success stories of V4-based projects, researchers and organisations involved in developing, deploying and using global space-based infrastructures, applications and data for Earth monitoring. These will exemplify the key contributions of the V4-based sector to the European Green Deal and Space Strategy for Europe. Finally, a roundtable discussion with key European EO actors and stakeholders is planned to discuss the current status and future challenges regarding the research and innovation activities for and within a Copernicus programme.
The event will serve as an opportunity for networking, mobilising and reinforcing cooperation between European scientists, research organisations and various actors in the field of EOs. The conference is opened to everyone interested in the field, both in terms of evolution of services for Copernicus, as well as development of applications and using the Eos data.
The event is organised by: Polish Science Contact Agency of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PolSCA) together with Czech Liaison Office for Education and Research (CZELO), National Research, Development and Innovation Office Hungary (NRDIO) and Slovak Liaison Office for Research and Development (SLORD).
The conference takes place on 29 June 2021, 13:30-14:45 CEST.
