The Event
The event was widely advertised via e-mail and with hard copy leaflets handed out at the IAC event
Approximately 30 people attended the event There were a few generic questions about CEOS
and its role during the panel session which helped to widen the audience understanding of CEOS
The following reception attracted in excess of the 30 audience but provided an additional opportunity for the speakers and other CEOS representatives to interact on an informal basis with their audience.
Thanks
On behalf of the “light-Touch” Task force we thank the presenters:
The CEOS Chair – Pontsho Maruping Brent Smith (NOAA) Stan Wilson (NOAA) David Williams (BNSC)
For participating to the success of the meeting
Conclusions (1)
There remains a task to ensure that the commercial sector is fully informed and understands the role of CEOS in the community.
It is hoped that with a better understanding a closer bond can be forged between CEOS and the commercial sector leading to a fruitful relationship for both
Outreach publications provide an important knowledge exchange mechanism.
Conclusions (2)
CEOS encourages and offers the opportunity for the commercial sector to be involved through its working Groups
The CEOS working groups provide the platform for external participation and will help to communicate with the Earth Observation community the direction and priorities of CEOS thus helping to keep the community better informed.
