Within the framework of the Arctic IAP project, you are invited to take part in the User Workshop & Webinar to raise awareness amongst potential users of improved space based situational awareness services to support the expanding economic activities in the Arctic. The webinar is to allow participation by those unable to attend in person.
Venue: Finmeccanica UK Ltd, 8-10 Great George St, London, SW1P 3AE, UK
Thursday, 8th May 2014
Workshop: 13:30 - 17:30
Webinar: 16:00 – 17:15
The aim of the event is to gain a greater understanding of user needs and to discuss the potential space solutions that are applicable to the Arctic. The project will build upon the outputs of the workshop to develop solutions that better satisfy the requirements of sectors active in the Arctic region including oil and gas, shipping and tourism. A Proof of Concept (PoC) activity is planned for summer which could include the delivery of satellite earth observation-derived information to Arctic operators. Scenarios for the PoC will be defined according to the users input and needs.
To attend the event or take part in the webinar please register as a member of the online ‘ARCTIC IAP User Group‘. Membership is free of charge. Having joined the group you will receive a link to register for the workshop/webinar.
The workshop will be chaired by Rear Admiral Nick Lambert, previous Hydrographer of the Royal Navy and captain of the Royal Navy’s ice patrol ship HMS Endurance.
Arctic IAP is a European Space Agency (ESA) project with the objective of developing and trialling a fast Integrated Situational Awareness Service for companies operating in the Arctic.
