BELSPO and VITO Remote Sensing are delighted to invite you for the BELAIR Workshop 2016 which will be organised in the Huis der Notarissen – Bruges on November 8, 2016. The goal of the workshop is to present, discuss and evaluate the results of last year’s BELAIR campaign. The BELAIR project was set up within the STEREO programme to develop Belgian test sites, for which targeted EO data and other measurements are collected, on behalf of the Belgian and international research communities, and which may be used as calibration and validation sites for new EO missions, data and products. During the morning session, BELAIR participants will present their results and an international keynote will talk about the organisation of cal/val and joint research sites abroad. After lunch, participants can either go on a field visit or discuss the continuation of the BELAIR programme. The preliminary programme will be published as soon as possible. We look forward to seeing you in Bruges. On behalf of the organising committee, Joost Vandenabeele and Jean-Christophe Schyns – BELSPO Ils Reusen – VITO Remote Sensing Info and registration here.

Undoubtedly you have heard about the Copernicus programme and the Sentinel missions. Copernicus is Europe’s flagship Earth observation programme. It aims to provide accurate, timely and easily accessible information to improve the management of the environment, understand and mitigate the effects of climate change and ensure civil security. The Sentinel family of satellites is being developed by ESA to meet the operational needs of the programme. Most likely, though, you still have a lot of questions: Where can I get the Sentinel data? What skill level is needed to use them? How good are they really? Who uses them and to what end? , … We try to facilitate your way through the world of the Sentinels. That’s why last year, you were invited to attend "The Dark Side of Remote Sensing", a workshop featuring ESA's Sentinel-1 radar mission. This year "The Bright Side of Remote Sensing" workshop will focus on the mostly optical Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 missions. The workshop’s morning session will deal with the missions and data access, while the afternoon session will be dedicated to potential applications and uses. Live demonstrations of the data access hub will be given during the breaks. People from academia, administrations and industry interested in remote sensing are welcome to attend.
