French-Lebanese Summer School on Remote-Sensing

In the framework of the European FPCUP programme to promote the use of Copernicus data and services, the French Land Data Center Theia organizes a French-Lebanese summer school on remote sensing techniques, data and products in Beirut. The objective of this summer school is to promote the use of Copernicus as well as Theia data and value-added products.

Experts from different French Institutes (INRAE, CNRS, IRD, University of Strasbourg) will participate in this remote sensing summer school aiming to encourage European-Lebanese cooperation in the use of Earth observation data for continental surfaces, to exchange experiences, and train Lebanese students in this expertise.

The scientific community and the public stakeholders are the main target audience of the action, but the private sector can also benefit from synergies and pooling effects. Beside the training offered, some research works using Copernicus data and products will be presented. The use of Sentinel remote sensing data (in particular Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2) and the training of new users in remote sensing will be important points of this summer school.
