Workshop: Air quality monitoring and management advanced (UPAT)

This workshop aims to provide advanced knowledge about the primary principles of air quality monitoring and management. The participants will be informed:

  • about EO technologies and data to collect spatiotemporal measurements and forecasts of air pollution
  • how to make usable satellite-derived and ground-based data into air quality planning and decision
  • About relationships among emission sources, meteorological conditions, monitoring and modelling of air pollution for practical applications


Workshop: Earth Observation and Geographic Information: a crucial tool to monitor and tackle climate change (EIT Climate-KIC)

EO4GEO organises in partnership with the EO4GEO Partner EIT Climate-KIC  a workshop on the use of satellite and remote sensing data to tackle climate change challenges with EUSPA, the University of Patras and the company Pachama. The workshop takes place on October 26th at 17:00 CET  and targets students of all levels and backgrounds to learn more about the EO*GI sector and how EO*GI can be used to tackle climate-change related challenges. 

Webinar: Active fire detection with Sentinel-3 (SERCO)

Webinar: Solar resource and forecasting at municipality level (UPAT)

A webinar aimed to designate the potential role of solar energy resource and forecasting in solar farms’ efficient planning and operation.

The participants will be able to understand the basics about solar resource and forecasting as well as the benefits of Earth Observation systems to the solar energy sector. State-of-the-art solar energy forecasting tools from European to municipality scale will be presented for selected cases.

The webinar is mainly non-technical and targets planners on regional/city/municipal scale as well professionals with no extensive experience in solar energy.

OOC: CO2 budgets for municipalities (NOVOGIT)

Webinar: Air quality monitoring and management (UPAT)

This webinar aims to provide basic knowledge about the primary principles of air quality monitoring and management.

The participants will be able to understand the effects and the key factors of air pollution, the linkages to the urban environment and public health, as well as methods to explore qualitatively the air pollution patterns over a specific area.

The webinar is mainly non-technical and targets planners on regional/city/municipal scale as well professionals with no extensive experience in air quality.


Webinar: Early warning for disease epidemics at regional level (UPAT)

This webinar aims to gain the participants basic knowledge about the development and application of an early warning system to help prevent outbreaks for mosquito borne diseases.

The webinar is coorganized by the University of Patras (in the frame of EO4GEO project) in collaboration with the BEYOND EO Center and the EuroGEO Action Group “Earth Observation for Epidemics of Vector-borne Diseases”.

The participants will be able to understand the basics about the development of an early warning system for mosquito borne diseases. The development of an early warning system and its benefits on disease outbreaks will be presented for selected cases at regional and municipal level. 

The webinar is mainly non-technical and targets planners at regional, city and municipal scale as well professionals with no extensive experience on early warning systems.



Webinar: EO for urban greenery management (UNEP-GRID)

We invite students interested in urban studies to take part in a webinar dedicated to the use of remote sensing data in the management of urban greenery.

Urban greenery is a key element of a healthy human environment. When properly designed and nurtured, it generates a variety of benefits for the purpose of climate change mitigation and adaptation in urban spaces. In the coming years, urban green management will put more focus on biodiversity conservation, protecting ecosystems and using nature-based solution, including green infrastructure.

By participating in the webinar the students will understand how to acquire data on urban greenery using remote sensing methods and how such collected data can be used to improve urban greenery management, especially in the context of climate change adaptation.
