Experts from the NEREUS network (the Network of European Regions Using Space Technologies) will be invited together with those from other Italian and European Institutions interested in Earth observation and environmental monitoring. The aim is to present expertise in the Basilicata region for research, technology and governance, to share experiences and best practices and to promote partnerships for future EU projects through four thematic workshops (GMES, GALILEO, ESA-IAP, Territorial cooperation).
