The ESA EO Φ-WEEK 2020 will be held online as a virtual event from 28 September to 02 October 2020.

Φ-week is the annual Earth Observation event organised by ESA-EOP. It focuses on innovation in Earth Observation, and showcases the latest achievements in Earth Observation science, technology and applications.

Φ-week 2020 aims to contribute to the concept of Digital Twin Earth - an AI-driven digital replica of our planet that converts the full power of AI, Earth Science and Modeling, cloud computing and Earth-scale environmental, societal and economical data into actionable insights for scientist, political and economic decision makers.

Φ-week 2020 brings together the necessary ingredients to build the Digital Twin Earth and enable science-based decision capabilities, enhanced predictions and simulations, to responding to the complex societal and environmental challenges of our times.

The Φ-week includes a variety of events (e.g. inspiring talks, workshops, roundtables, startup pitch, hackathons) to connect multi-disciplinary communities - from EO researchers, data scientists, non-space corporates, tech leaders, entrepreneurs, up to startup and innovators - to explore together how EO Open Science and innovation can benefit from the latest digital technologies and help shapeFutureEO missions and services.
 

Every year, Planetek Italia and Planetek Hellas join the event with presentations on the latest research activities and industry-focused marketable solutions in the Earth Observation and Space segment fields.

This year, jointly with D-Orbit and AIKO, Planetek Italia will present a disruptive solution called AIX ♦ Smart In-Orbit Data Processing, and other interesting developments through the following presentations:

• CRITE: exploitation of multi-temporal and multi-sensor EO images with artificial intelligent techniques to map and characterise shadowed coffee plantations in Timor-Leste.
• AIX in-orbit smart services.
• Information-as-a-Service and new business models from satellite-based monitoring.
• EOLAW, EO derived information in support of Law Enforcement - COVID19 impact on Waste disposal levels service.
• Space Data Gateway, a Smart NanoSat Communication service in LEO.

To follow the event and interact with speakers and sessions a registration is required. Registration is open until 10 September 2020.
