Open Science Conference 2021
2021-02-17 10:45 - 2021-02-19 15:00 (Europe/Moscow)
The Open Science Conference 2021 is the 8th international conference of the Leibniz Research Alliance Open Science. The annual conference is dedicated to the Open Science movement and provides a unique forum for researchers, librarians, practitioners, infrastructure providers, policy makers, and other important stakeholders to discuss the latest and future developments in Open Science.
This year’s conference will especially focus on the effects and impact of (global) crises and associated societal challenges, such as the Corona pandemic or the climate change, to open research practices and science communication in the context of the digitisation of science. And vice versa, how open practices help to cope with crises. Overall, the conference addresses topics around Open Science such as:

Effects and impact of current crises on open research practices and science communication
Learnings from crises to sustainably ensure the opening of science in the future
Innovations to support Open Science practices and their application and acceptance in scientific communities
Scientific benefit of Open Science practices and their impact in society such as coping with crises
Open Science education and science communication to different target groups in the broad public

'Bridging the gap to facilitate selection and image analysis activities for land surface monitoring' webinar
2021-02-18 15:00 - 18:00
The 3rd and final PHIDIAS Webinar of the series, this time dedicated to Use Case 2: Big Data Earth Observations (EO). “Bridging the gap to facilitate selection and image analysis activities for land surface monitoring” is taking place next 18th of February at 15:00 CET.
Optical and radar images observing the Earth’s land surface have become an essential source of information to address and analysis environmental issues. The diversity of Earth observation sensors make it possible to provide new insights into environmental monitoring. But as many recent diagnoses have shown, satellite imagery for environmental monitoring purposes is particularly underutilized by the land and natural resource management communities, the high level of technology and the need for digital resources required to use satellite imagery are the main reasons for this. In other hand THEIA scientific expertise centres have designed and implemented proof of concept of prototypes of new algorithms that meet the information needs of environmental monitoring stakeholders, such as land cover, soil moisture or natural vegetation Biomass.
More information about the event, the agenda, etc. is available here. To register and join the webinar, please visit here.
