The format of each short course is a 1-2 hour webinar including a presentation and demonstration of data discovery and application. You will have the opportunity to interact with experts and ask questions. Some courses will include a follow-up self-paced phase where you are invited to explore the data and get feedback from experts.

Throughout the courses, you will have the opportunity to learn:
– which are the EUMETSAT and Copernicus free and open data.
– where to access the data and where to find information about the data.
