The European Commission, who is responsible for the Copernicus programme, has initiated an action with the objective of gathering user requirements for the Next Generation of the Copernicus Space Component.
In this context, a “Polar and Snow Cover Applications User Requirements Workshop” will take place on 23 June 2016 in Brussels.
This workshop aims at gathering, examining and consolidating user requirements, and confronting these with major gaps to be potentially addressed by the Next Generation of the Copernicus Space Component (CSC).
This is a unique opportunity for the attendees to provide the European Commission with their priorities in terms of data, products and information at large, as a function of their mandates and activities. The workshop is not intended to discuss technical requirements and specifications for satellites and instruments.
The audience will be composed of users, service providers, representatives from the scientific community, and Space agencies.
