EO-Learning is an e-learning platform launched by Planetek with free training courses and resources on Earth Observation and remote sensing.
Free online courses on Earth Observation
A new opportunity for students, and professionals in private and public entities (engineers, geologist, planners, etc.) to learn and stay up to date on technologies, methodologies and applications of satellite Earth Observation.
Earth observation plays an increasingly important role in many sectors and applications: territorial and urban planning, monitoring ground motion phenomena, predicting infrastructure stability risks, sustainable use of resources, natural disaster prevention, and so forth.
Remotely sensed data collected by satellite, aircraft, drone, etc., are today available in large quantities, also as open data (e.g. data from the European program Copernicus), and are extremely accurate sources for detailed analysis over large areas and over time.
Learning how this huge information can help us in our activities is essential both to take more informed decisions, and to efficiently operate on field on the basis of reliable, continuous and measurable information.
"EO-Learning blossoms from Planetek's desire to add further value to its thirty years of experience in the sector and from its commitment as a Benefit Company to make this knowledge available to the user community", says Vincenzo Barbieri, CMO and founding member of Planetek Italia. “The Space sector is growing rapidly and its applications are increasing and strategic in various sectors. As part of the Planetek Academy project, EO-Learning aims to contribute to the skills improvement of professionals in this field to let them support better public and private organizations".
