At BIC Lazio facilities in Rome, with the cooperation of University of Rome Tor Vergata and Copernicus Relay italiano Lazio Connect, a four-days training is going to be a really sold-out event. From 8 to 26 of June, all people are attending a general but at the same time in-depth talks, introducing Earth Observation, Copernicus program and the possibility of using geo data and satellite data also for business ideas. And no seats are empty.

In the parterre there are students, engineers, entrepreneurs, architects, physicists, and firefighters too. This proves that the aim of FabSpace 2.0 project to involve people with no Remote Sensing background is going well. The Fab Space local training indeed is addressed to people that want to approach the theme, giving necessary competences for using satellite data and information. A basic free knowledge, to develop services and innovative digital ‘Earth observation based’ applications, useful to participate to fab space challenges.

The next 30 June in fact is the dead line for the Italian local challenge submission.
