The EO4GEO project is happy to announce that the long-awaited final event of the project – the conference “Shaping the EO*GI skills of the future” will take place on the 17th and 18th of May as a hybrid event - at the EIT House in Brussels and online.

The event will bring together a broad and diverse range of stakeholders in the field of EO*GI including institutions (the European Commission, EUSPA, ESA, as well as local and regional entities), with representatives of the private sector and academia and training providers, who will discuss together the current needs and education gaps in the EO*GI sector, what means are put in place to tackle it, and what additional steps and initiatives shall be further undertaken.

The conference will also showcase the work done under EO4GEO and define how the Blueprint project will transition into post-project legacy led by the EO4GEO skills Alliance aimed at supporting skills building in the sector. The impact of bridging the skills gap will contribute towards forming a workforce capable to support and implement numerous policies such as the European Green Deal and the monitoring of the UN’s SGDs.

For more information on the event, please consult the EO4GEO website.

Looking forward to meeting and discussing with you the future of EO*GI skills!
