Online workshop: Copernicus and Public Health

This workshop will introduce how Copernicus data has been used in relation to the health and well-being, especially since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic when its data became important for supporting epidemiological research.

This workshop will be organised into four sessions discussing the following specific topics

• Copernicus and COVID
• Extreme temperatures and health
• Air quality and health
• Weather/climate sensitive diseases

For each session, speakers from key European or international entities will set the scene before opening on a panel discussion about how to maximise use of Copernicus data for the benefit of public and private users in the health sector. The panels will also identify currently outstanding needs and requirements, which can inform the future development of the Copernicus programme.

The event will take place on 15 and 16 September 2021.

Registration for the event is required and available here.
