| Background & Objectives |
| |
|
Since the launch of ERS-1 in 1991, ESA has hosted a number of successful Symposia
and Workshops, including:
- the ERS Scientific Symposia in Cannes (1992), Hamburg (1993) and Florence (1997)
- the ERS Pilot Projects and Thematic Application Workshops in Toledo (1994), London
(1995), Frascati (1995, 1996, 1999), Zurich (1996) and Liege (1999).
ESA continues to support the development of Earth Observation along the following
main three lines:
- Science & Methodology
- Development of Applications / Public Services
- Development of the commercial market for EO-based Services
The fourth Scientific Symposium - jointly hosted by ESA and Chalmers University of Technology - is meant to
cover both the ERS and Envisat missions.
The event will be held in Gothenburg,
Sweden, from
16
to 20 October
2000.
The Symposium is open to all interested parties, from scientists to operational
commercial users and service providers.
It will offer an opportunity to appraise the current status of ERS
applications and to explore future applications of Envisat.
|
|
|
| Participation |
| |
About 300 ERS AO projects are currently underway, whereas around 700 Envisat AO projects
are ready to start.
Within the commercial distribution policy, a new scheme for both ERS
and Envisat data has been set up.
Over 650 participants have already registered, among which over 400 verbal presentations, about 150 posters and
several demonstrations have been accepted.
New registrations are accepted in Gothenburg directly.
Newly appointed ERS and Envisat Distributing Entities, Value Adding Companies and Service Providers will participate
in the event, and bring their contribution in an active EO market.
About 25 Exhibitors are present in the Exhibition Area. |

| Language & Fee |

- The official language of the Symposium is English.
- No participation fee will be charged.
Participants are expected to finance their own travel and accommodation
expenses.
