ESA EO CB activities

Enhancing geoinformation literacy by making STEM subjects engaging through space education. Programs include training sessions, workshops, and university courses covering various EO topics. Tools and resources like i-books, apps, and MOOCs are utilized globally to foster interest and capacity building in EO. Collaborations with European associations, space agencies, and international partners aim to create a knowledgeable and skilled community in Earth Observation. The goal is to inspire young professionals, operational users, scientists, and decision-makers to leverage EO data effectively for a sustainable future.

  1. ESA EO CB activities Committee on Earth Observation Satellites • ESA • CEOS WGCapD-8 Annual Meeting • Agenda Item # 18 • Working Group on • Capacity Building & Data Democracy • Indian Institute of Remote Sensing • Indian Space Research Organisation • Dehradun, India • March 06th – 08th, 2019

  2. Who do we target • Young professionals dealing with geoinformation • Operational users • Future scientists • PhD and university students • Secondary schools • General public and decision-makers

  3. ESA partners in CB, Education & Training activities – Earth Observation In Europe • Universities and public institutes in Europe; other Space Agencies • European associations with an educational mandate like: Earsel, EGU/GIFT In the frame of International Cooperation outside Europe 3. CEOS WGCapD, UN (UNOOSA, FAO, UNESCO..) 4. Space Agencies worldwide 5. International associations with an educational mandate (e.g. SELPER) 6. Africa, China (TIGER, DRAGON Programmes) 8. Countries in Africa and South America cooperating with ESA 9. Development Banks

  4. ESA ESERO project (European Space Education Resource Offices in ESA MS) – secondary school level Target: European students starting from an early age (primary and secondary education) Goal: using the space context to make the teaching and learning of STEM subjects more attractive ESERO offers an annual series of national or regional training sessions for both primary and secondary school teachers, offered in collaboration with national partners Teachers’ workshops; classroom resources; school projects ….

  5. Education in the frame of European cooperation – secondary school level • Forthcoming: joint School Lab with ESA, ASI, DLR, UK National Space Academy, INGV, Universities of Milan and Pavia (2019 Living Planet Symposium • 13-17 May 2019, Milan, Italy) • Demonstrating RS to schools using instruments and demos

  6. Education in the frame of European Cooperation: EGU/GIFT network (secondary school level ) 8-years cooperation with EGU/GIFT (European Geosciences Union GIFT – Geosciences Information for Teachers). Workshops for Secondary School teachers selected worldwide. Enlarged since 2016 to Africa and South America. 2019 edition: ‘Plate tectonics and Earth’s structure – yesterday, today, tomorrow’.

  7. EO Training courses in Europe Advanced Training Courses in ESA MS Training in European Cooperating States

  8. EO Training courses in Europe NASA / ESA Trans-Atlantic cooperation in EO Training (TAT courses)

  9. Earth Observation Summer Schools in ESRIN 2018 Summer School ESRIN 70 early career scientists have taken part Usually organized every 2 years, open to students from worldwide, free tuition Topics : Global Observing Systems, Earth System Modelling, Data Assimilation, Global Change

  10. Sentinel Training with the European Commission Upcoming Sentinel training with R.U.S. / European Commission (Research and User Support for Sentinel Products / Service operation – with focus on “training the trainers”)- priority: Europe

  11. EO Training courses worldwide

  12. Africa - TIGER Capacity Building Facility: Developing African Knowledge and Scientific Capacity

  13. International cooperation with China in EO Training

  14. Creation of Tools for Education, Training and CB Tools for secondary schools • Posters • Atlases • Educational SW package for Image Processing and GIS (LeoWorks) Tools for general outreach • i-books • Apps for Tablets Tools for University level • MOOCs • SAR videos • SNAP Tutorials
