SUMMARY:Summer university course: Geospatial Technologies for Building Resilience
DESCRIPTION:The Central European University is organising a summer course on Geospatial Technologies for Building Resilience. This course is a part of the “Bridging ICTs and Environment” workshop series run by the ISEPEI project\, and is co-funded by the Open Society University Network (OSUN) in cooperation with the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA). \nThis workshop aims at providing in-service education and professional training for decision-makers and practitioners to assist them in making better informed data-driven decisions\, using geospatial technologies. In particular\, this year’s workshop explores the use of geospatial technologies for building  and improving the resilience of communities to disasters and climate change. Various UN agencies (UNEP\, UNOOSA\, UNDRR\, UN FAO\, etc.) and global key stakeholders in digital technologies (EU JRC\, Airbus\, Esri\, Google\, MAXAR\, etc.) will give presentations and practical exercises during this summer course. ESA’s Global Development Assistance Programme will be introduced on Thursday 27 July with a focus on the knowledge hub activity.

SUMMARY:Webinar: wider economic benefits from Satellite EO in Developing countries
DESCRIPTION:In November 2022\, Caribou Space and London Economics published a report on behalf of ESA’s Global Development Assistance (GDA) programme called Wider Economic Benefits from Satellite Earth Observation in Developing Countries. This webinar will describe the key findings and conclusions from this report.\n\nThe impacts of satellite Earth Observation (EO) for sustainable development are well documented\, but the wider benefit of EO to developing countries is less understood. To address this gap\, the GDA initiated a study under the Monitoring & Evaluation and Impact Assessment activity\, with a particular focus on EO’s contribution to ‘digital spillovers’.\n\n
