3rd Workshop "Preparations for the Sentinels in Europe"
This workshop, co-organized by EuroSDR, Norwegian Space Centre and the Norwegian Mapping Authority, aimed to give the users of the Sentinel-2 satellites the latest information from ESA Ground Segment, but also knowledge and experience from different national Collaborative Ground Segments (CGS). There were also presentations from operational use of S-2 data, and of course break out discussions.
