OVERVIEW OF ADVANCED TRAINING COURSES


The specific objectives of the advanced training courses are:

  • To stimulate and support the exploitation of ESA and Third Party Missions (TPM) Earth Observation remote sensing data for land, ocean and atmospheric applications
  • To introduce available software tools and methods for the exploitation of these data
  • To train the next generation of European and Canadian scientists

Participation

As advanced training courses, they are targeted to the European, ESA member state and Canadian research and development community, in particular post-doc researchers as well as masters and PhD students.

10th DLR/ESA open PolInSAR training course 2026

April 13 - July 17

This PolInSAR course is an online, hands-on training programme that aims to develop an understanding of the information content of multi-parameter SAR data in an interactive way, without assuming any prior/background knowledge – though some knowledge in Python programming is welcome. It is organised into 11 sessions over 11 weeks, with lectures and tutorials ranging from SAR …

Satellite remote sensing of air quality

May 25 - June 19

This online course provided within the context of ESA EO AFRICA focuses on detection of the composition of the lower atmosphere from space: methods, data, tools and applications. Upon completion of this online training course, the participant will be able to: Explain the basic interactions of radiation with the atmosphere: absorption and scattering Explain how …

ESA’s 2026 InSAR Training Course

June 11 - June 14
Polish Geological Institute – National Research Institute, Carpathian Branch, Skrzatów 1
Kraków, 31-560 Poland

Background The training course will provide participants with a fundamental understanding of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) for monitoring and analysing the dynamics of the Earth’s surface and the objects upon it. Emphasis will be placed on how InSAR can be used to address safety‑ and risk‑related challenges, both for diagnostic assessment and anomaly detection. Participants will gain …
