LandSense Mapathon
This week, as part of the European Week of Regions and Cities, LandSense launched the mapathon! Using OpenStreetMap and Sentinel 2 satellite data the team at Heidelberg created a citizen-driven land use map of the EU.
CSEOL Implementation Phase
CSEOL (we say Sizzle) is an initiative funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) to find people and organizations with the energy, imagination and creative talent to help Europe’s big Space data address some of our biggest problems.
We’ve been looking for ideas that provide fantastic opportunities for citizen scientists – or the wider public – to validate what satellites observe or to put those images to use. The CSEOL Call went out around the world, with great ideas coming in from four continents. We’re now moving into the implementation phase – where the four CSEOL pilot preparing their projects, implementing their project, all working towards a Demo Day, where they demonstrate what their project has achieved.
Our goal is to take great ideas to funding in less than 6 months – in a competitive setting.
