As part of the Scientific Exploitation of Operational Missions (SEOM) programme element, the European Space Agency (ESA) organised an Advanced Land Training Course devoted to train the next generation of Earth Observation (EO) scientists to exploit data from ESA and operational EO missions (e.g. the Sentinels) for science and applications development.
A total of 78 post graduate-level, PhD students, post doctoral research scientists and users from Europe, Canada and from other continents attended the 6-day course, which was held at Szent István University (SZIU), Hungary, from 4 to 9 September 2017.
Objectives
The Advanced Land Training Course aimed at:
Training the next generation of European and Canadian Principal Investigators (PIs)
Explaining theoretical principles, processing algorithms, data products and their use in applications
Introducing tools and methods for the exploitation of EO sateliite data, in particular the Sentinels
Stimulating and supporting the exploitation of ESA EO and Third Party Mission data for land remote sensing science and applications.
