What role do space technologies play today in addressing the challenges of climate change? What are the pressing questions in climate research that call for more data from space? How much weight does Earth observation carry at the political and economic level, and on the agendas of the major space agencies? What further missions – such as CO2 monitoring – are the EU and the European Space Agency ESA planning? How are the private space companies increasingly pushing into the market operating in this field? And how can the gigantic volumes of data from space be efficiently analysed and put to use in applications for climate protection?

club research, together with its cooperation partners – the Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology and the Austrian Society for Environment and Technology – invites you to a discussion on 29.01.2020 in the Reitersaal of the Oesterreichischen Kontrollbank.

On: Wednesday, 29 January 2020
