The second week of October, Mahdi Farnaghi presented our Innovation Lab – and related support & training- during the workshop “Copernicus data access and use in Africa”. The objective of the workshop was to collect African institutions views on the present and potential future developments of Copernicus data and information access, in particular with regard to existing challenges, evolving technologies and future needs. Thanks Copernicus for the opportunity to explain our Research and Development Facility.
