12th Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing

12th ESA Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing
25 - 29 Sep 2023
Wrocław, Poland

The European Space Agency (ESA) is organizing an Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing with a focus on Hydrology and Hazards in collaboration with the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences. This course is dedicated to train the next generation of Earth Observation (EO) scientists and experts, working in the domains of hydrology or related hazards, in using data from Copernicus Sentinels and other satellite missions for science and applications development. The course is part of the EO Science for Society element of ESA’s Future EO programme.

The 5-day course will be held from 25 to 29 September 2023 at the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Poland. Postgraduate, PhD students, post-doctoral research scientists and professionals from European countries and Canada interested in the applications of Earth Observation in Water cycle, hydrology and hazards are welcome to apply for the course. Research scientists, students, EO professionals from all other countries are also welcome to apply, subject to the availability of space.
