Students
We want you to attend!
The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) is calling for students to participate in its upcoming technical meeting: university students in the Geneva area, mark your calendars for a unique opportunity to learn about open data and open knowledge in Earth observations (EO)!
GEO is organizing a two-day “Open Data & Open Knowledge” (ODOK) workshop in person on June 15-16, 2023. This is the perfect chance to join the community and engage in discussions about technical advances, challenges, and solutions in open knowledge practices.
Don't miss out on this valuable event, which aims to foster knowledge exchange and will allow you to network with world-leading experts in the field of EO and geospatial data. This workshop will also provide you with hands-on training sessions for geospatial processing tools! Register now and be part of the conversation!
Be part of the organizing team!
We are looking for motivated volunteer students to act as rapporteurs and help the organizing team during the two days of the conference (assist session leads, take notes and help capture discussion outcomes).
