ESA partnered with the African Union Commission, JRC and EUMETSAT to train experts from 25 African countries in cloud computing for EO applications in order to exploit the full power of Copernicus Sentinel-1&2 observations for monitoring Africa.
The training, hosted by the CRASTE center in Rabat, Morocco mid October 2019, is part of the GMES and Africa Programme Training Strategy.
ESA is proposing a new R&D initiative EOAFRICA to their member states at the Space19+ ministerial to develop innovative EO applications together with African partners.
