The meeting will provide a unique and timely forum for scientists and end-users of CryoSat data to share the state-of-the-art in research and applications, review mission achievements and prepare for the continued use of the CryoSat mission in the future.

The meeting will bring together the wider international scientific community to explore and develop scientific and application synergies and to propel the Swarm mission into its next phase. The Geodetic Missions Workshop serves as a platform to discuss and interact with the major space agencies on the need and requirements for future missions.

During this workshop the organisation and readiness of the ADM-Aeolus CAL/VAL activities and teams will be detailed and exercised. These activities will be instrumental to the mission calibration and validation in-flight, and are launched to ensure and demonstrate that ADM-Aeolus will meet its mission requirements. 

The focus of this workshop is to assess the opportunities for EO research and development, downstream activities and ICT evolution in the Baltic, that may be the basis for future ESA investments to address some of the key information needs of this area.
