Infosession Estonia

The Copernicus Training and Information Session to be held on 6 November 2017 in Tallinn at the premises of the Building of Ministries is the eleventh in a series of national Copernicus events. The European Commission is organising these sessions at the request of, and in collaboration with Member States.

The event aims to promote awareness of the many uses of Copernicus data and information, while providing the opportunity for hands on demonstrations and basic training regarding:

  • The data and information available;
  • Its potential uses and applications, both generally and amongst specific categories of users or business sectors (Copernicus for Emergency Management Service, Land Monitoring, Marine Monitoring, etc.);
  • The tools available to access the data and information.

The Copernicus Training and Information Session targets both Copernicus “intermediate” end users (technical) and end user communities (non-technical).
For more information, please refer to the Agenda.

Registrations are closed.
