Expert Meetings and Workshops
ESA has been collecting and processing EO data from ESA missions (for example ERS-1/2, Envisat), and ESA TPM (for example AVHRR, Landsat) for nearly three decades. To meet the validation and evolution needs of new scientific developments and the changing end-user applications for ESA Earth Observation missions, the agency through the SPPA team, organises focused Expert Meetings, targeted Product Validation and Evolution Workshops, and Co-sponsors Meetings of international organisations and associations.
