European Space Week 201703 - 09 November 2017Organisers: European Commission under the auspices of the Estonian Presidency of the Council of the EU and co-organised by the European Space Agency, AZO Anwendungszentrum GmbH Oberpfaffenhofen and Garage48. Location: Tallinn, Estonia Event Overview: The European Space Week will foster interactions between the space and digital community and will provide visibility to the rapidly changing space sector, its applications and the European Union's Space Programmes Copernicus and Galileo. Central aim is to bring together the most important European space stakeholders, companies, partners and visionaries pushing the topic of space in Europe and beyond. The European Space Week 2017 is conceived to be a constellation of events ranging from a hackathon, accelerator boot camps, a festive Awards Ceremony, conferences, a Horizon 2020 Space Info Day, a ministerial meeting, to the opening of ESA BIC to an exhibition. The week will address different space-related topics that will interest different audiences from policy makers to start-ups, the public and authorities to industry players. The knowledge exchange will take place through debates, award ceremonies, workshops, symposia and exhibitions in nine different locations.

Satellite Applications for the Alps10 October 2017Organisations: Eurisy Location: Brixen, Italy Workshop Overview: Eurisy, together with IDM Südtirol and Berchtesgaden Satellite Navigation Cluster are happy to invite you to a conference dedicated to satellite applications for search and rescue in the Alps! This conference will be held in the framework of the week-long International Mountain Summit, a prestigious annual event gathering the mountaineering community. The objective of the event is to gather stakeholders of search and rescue in the Alps, and representatives of the space community (decision-makers, research organisations, service providers). Together, they will discuss the premise that satellite services serve the interests of the search and rescue community better when shared and used as common solutions, across the borders, rather than when used individually. 
HAPS4ESA09 - 10 October 2017Organisations: ESA Location: Noordwijk, Netherlands The objective of the workshop is to identify potential synergies between High Altitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS) and satellites in the domains of Earth Observation, Telecommunication and Navigation.Contributions to the following topics are invited:
Geomatics & Geospatial Technology 201704 - 05 October 2017Organisation: Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Symposium Overview: The Universiti Teknologi Malaysia will present "Geospatial and Disaster Management" as the theme for the GGT 2017. Many agencies and private entities have engaged with geospatial information systems, applications and services. However, more efforts and works have to be workout and envisioned for better information and decisions within the agencies and many users. Today, users demand more and more relevant data, services and information. In order to materialise all those demands both from data providers and users, all geospatial information communities and related professionals are invited together in one big event – GGT 2017. Many issues and solutions could be shared and discussed for the benefits of all. Participants are invited to submit their abstracts and papers to be presented at the conference but not limited to:
EO Open Science 201725 - 28 September 2017Organisations: ESA Location: Frascati, Italy Workshop Overview: This conference will explore the emerging challenges and opportunities faced by the EO scientific community to respond to the new paradigm of EO Open Science. The conference will also present how ESA is facilitating the exploitation of EO data in a collaborative, cross-disciplinary, and open way, to make the most of the large volume of complex and diverse data delivered by the new generation of EO missions and in particular the Sentinels. EO Open Science offers an enormous potential for researchers to share knowledge, access and make use of EO data in a global network of communities. The main objectives of the conference are to:
Introduction to Remote Sensing for Scenario-Based Ecoforecasting07 - 28 September 2017Organisation: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Location: Online seminar Course Overview: As climates shift and change, ecosystems respond in a variety of ways. Assessing the ecological impacts of a changing climate is crucial for natural resource management decision-making. NASA Earth observations can be used to help make these decisions. This four-week webinar series, in collaboration with the USGS North Central Climate Center, will include an overview of the satellites, sensors, and tools relevant to ecological forecasting; available climate products and data for ecological modeling; scenario planning; and the application of modeling for species distribution and state-and-transition simulations. By the end of this training, attendees will be able to understand what ecoforecasting is and its applications, understand how climate data supports future projections of management targets, articulate how scenario planning can be utilized for decision-making with multiple sources of uncertainty, and integrate qualitative and quantitative tools to support resource management decision-making in situations with high uncertainty. 
Introduction to Remote Sensing of Harmful Algal Blooms05 - 26 September 2017Organisation: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Location: Online seminar Course Overview: Harmful algal blooms (HABs) can have a negative impact on the ecosystem and human health. Satellite remote sensing is able to collect data frequently and over a large area to identify impaired water quality from HABs. This data can inform decision-makers on where best to put their resources for taking water samples, determine what toxins are in the water, whether they need to change or move drinking water intakes, and whether a fishery needs to be closed. Remote sensing data enables individuals and organisations to have more flexible plans for water sampling. It also leads to a more efficient and appropriate allocation of resources for protecting human health. By the end of the training, attendees will be able to identify NASA's Earth Science remote sensing data products for the identification and monitoring of HABs, describe how coupled remote sensing and modeling approaches are used in decision support tools, and use a selection of NASA Earth Science data tools to monitor HABs.
