5th ESA Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing : 8-12 September 2014, University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain
As part of the Scientific Exploitation of Operational Missions (SEOM) programme element, the European Space Agency (ESA) organises each year 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 for science and applications development.
Post graduate, PhD students, post doctoral research scientists and users from European countries and Canada interested in Land Remote Sensing and its applications are invited to apply to the 5 day course on the subject, which will be held at the University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain on 8-12 September 2014.
Research scientists and students from all other countries are also welcome to apply and participate to the course subject to space availability.
