Way of training : E-learning (mooc, spoc, wikis ...)
Language(s): English

Course Details

Objectives : This workshop aims at discussing the potential uses of Earth Observation to achieve and monitor the Sustainable Development Goals in cities.

The workshop will introduce the audience to the newly released Earth Observations Toolkit for Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements. Two use cases from the Toolkit will be showcased by public administrations, who will explain how they themselves use the Toolkit to monitor their progresses towards urban sustainability, focusing in particular on SDG 11 and how EO is integrated in daily and planning routines.

Moreover, the workshop will deliver a hands-on introduction on two portals making available EO data and services for cities. The audience will be actively involved in the workshop and will be engaged into Q&A sessions and live surveys to provide feedback on the presented contents.

The workshop is organised by Eurisy with support from the National Observatory of Athens (NOA), the Earth Observation Toolkit for Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements, and the European Space Agency (ESA), and a contribution to the Geospatial Cities initiative of the EU Smart Cities Marketplace.
