ISSeP and Skywin organized a day of reflection on the integration of satellite data into territorial decision-making processes in Wallonia on October 23, 2015.


Presentation of the day

These data should enable us to better manage our natural resources, our environment and the risks that affect us. On a European scale, they play an important role in the dynamic monitoring of the territory. The European Commission and the European Space Agency have launched a new era of free distribution of data from SENTINEL earth observation satellites. European research programs have enabled the development of operational services for regional and local authorities. The round table on October 23 will bring together Walloon and European players to optimize the integration of this data into public competencies, with a view to improving citizen services in tomorrow’s digital Wallonia 4.0. This day is an opportunity for you to help shape this integration.

Skywin, a Walloon aerospace cluster whose competencies include the development of Earth observation instruments and services, and ISSeP, as a Public Interest Organization using space data for its environmental characterization and risk assessment missions, have joined forces to organize this event.
