Event - Workshop
CEOS-IVOS Workshop on Inter-comparison of Large Scale Optical and Infrared Sensors
The 2004 workshop was an opportunity to present and exchange experiences and knowledge from work on inter-comparing large scale optical sensors at different product levels.
Event - Workshop
CryoSat 2005 Workshop
The workshop provided new and familiar users of the mission with a detailed understanding of the mission status and projected performance at launch, and provided the first presentation to users of the processing algorithms.
Event - Workshop
The 7th SMOS Workshop
The 7th SMOS Workshop took place in Frascati, Italy, from 29-31 October 2007.
Event - Workshop
Space and the Arctic 2009 Workshop
Temperatures in the Arctic are rising at an unprecedented rate. This workshop looked at the needs and challenges of working and living in the rapidly changing Arctic and explore how space-based services might help to meet those needs.
Event - Training
Advanced Training Course in Ocean Remote Sensing 2011
Within the framework of the Dragon Programme, a joint collaboration between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), ESA and NRSCC are providing a series of advanced thematic training courses on remote sensing applications hosted by university and research institutions in P.R. China.
Event - Training
Advanced Training Course in Land Remote Sensing 2012
The 2012 advanced training course focused on land remote sensing theory and applications.
Event - Workshop
First International GOCE Solid Earth Workshop
The First International GOCE Solid Earth Workshop took place at the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC), University of Twente, Enschede (The Netherlands) on 16-17 October 2012
Event - Workshop
2nd APVE Workshop: Arctic Products Validation & Evolution
The 2nd Arctic Products Validation and Evolution (APVE) will address the development, assessment and improvement of the broad spectrum of capabilities offered by Space-based Earth observation technology in response to high-latitude and Arctic stakeholders information needs; addressing National, Regional, and International interests and, focusing on existing agency data, and others in support of future capabilities (evolution) such as pooling resources (systems, programs, audience, etc.) and better operation support/amplified impact.

Event - Workshop
Workshop on Uncertainties in Remote Sensing
The Quality Assurance Framework for Earth Observation (QA4EO) states "that all EO data and derived products have associated with them a documented and fully traceable quality indicator (QI)". In remote sensing, provision of uncertainty information is a fundamental aspect of indicating data quality: an uncertainty associated with a measurement is needed to allow proper interpretation and further application of data, both in scientific and decision-making contexts.

Event - Workshop
IDEAS+ Cal/Val Workshop#6
The IDEAS+ (Instrument Data quality Evaluation and Analysis Service) consortium is responsible, on behalf of ESA SPPA section, for ensuring the best data quality of ESA operational EO missions, this includes a wide range of activities, spanning from the Routine Quality Control to the Algorithm Development and Cal/Val (Calibration/Validation). In the frame of the IDEAS+ consortium, the Task 3-Cal/Val team is where innovative ideas are promoted and incubated with the goal of further improving algorithm specifications, calibration and validation protocols, data quality assessment procedures. Regular Workshops are held every 9-12 months with the whole IDEAS+ Task3-Cal/Val team in order to review the status of current activities, foster synergies among the various groups and agree on the planning for the future.

The MIPAS Quality Working Group (QWG) meeting #45 took place from 28 to 30 October 2019, and was hosted by ESA in Frascati, Italy.
Event - Workshop
10th Swarm Data Quality Workshop
ESA's 10th Swarm Data Quality Workshop, 5-9 October 2020, was a virtual meeting focused on Swarm L1/L2 data quality and technical aspects.
Event - Meeting
PROBA-V QWG meeting 12
The main discussion points for the QWG meeting #12 are recalled: 1. Mission Status: the operational phase was discontinued on 30 June 2020 to limit the impact of the orbital drift and the new experimental phase started on 1st July 2020 with focus on acquiring data over Africa and Europe together with ad-hoc acquisition campaigns. Flight and Ground Segment overall performances are excellent with no sign of degradation.
Event - Conference
Phi Week 2021
This event focused on how to accelerate the future of Earth Observation (EO), presenting recent developments in EO Open Science and latest trends in EO markets, exploring bold and transformative ideas that ESA’s phi-lab and Data Applications Division supports and scales up along with researchers, start-ups, industry and private investors.
Event - Workshop
11th Swarm Data Quality Workshop
The 11th Swarm Data Quality Workshop was a hybrid event, which was instrumental in addressing the processing and use of Swarm data and defining a road map for future activities.
