Registration for this event has closed.
This event will facilitate dialogue between NGA SFN & academic attendees on geomatics challenges, resulting in actionable concept papers to address the challenges. Concept papers will be eligible for GEO-ESCON funding. We anticipate projects will be selected and awarded before fall semester 2023 begins. The working group allows GEO-ESCON member institution representatives to gain a deeper understanding of NGA SFN’s challenges, build relationships with NGA SFN leaders and colleagues at other institutions, and provide recommendations to GEO-ESCON & NGA SFN.
Who should attend:
- Representatives of US federal and state entities (agencies, national labs, etc.) and their Five Eye counterparts are invited to attend.
- Researchers employed by institutions of higher education (GEO-ESCON member and non-member) in the United States and Five Eye countries.
- This event is not targeted toward students, but advanced graduate students may find benefit in attending.
- This event is not open to industry partners.
