"Think Equal. Build Smart. Innovate for Change". NextGEOSS is developed by experts from 27 partners representing 14 European countries. Many of these experts are women with background from various fields such as ICT, biodiversity, meteorology, standards, data management, software development, astrophysics, and much more.
In this webinar you will i) get a nice overview of NextGEOSS, the European data hub and platform, and ii) learn about the different types of contributions women offer to state-of-the-art technology for Earth observations. iii) showcase women's contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals using their competence in science and technology.
This will be our way to celebrate Women's Day and contribute to SDG 5 Gender Equality by promoting the empowerment of women.
