This course is designed, and delivered, as part of the "Lifelong Learning Initiatives" offer catalogue of the PNRR Innovation Ecosystem Project "NODES - Nord Ovest Digitale E Sostenibile". The subjects dealt with were assessed as capable of producing a considerable impact in terms of territories and industrial systems intercepted and generates the possibility of increasing the ability to share skills by creating a network of value on the territory.
The programme
The course will be held twice a week, on Wednesdays and Thursdays, for 4 hours per session. The objective of the course is to provide the knowledge and tools necessary to better understand the modalities of the European emergency management service funded by the Copernicus program, in order to be able to use and integrate the products generated at all territorial levels (local, regional, national, and international).
The educational program will address topics related to the use of Earth observation data for the creation of mapping and datasets useful for managing emergencies resulting from natural disasters and/or events caused by human activities.
Special attention will be given to the characteristics of the generated products, their integration into response and emergency monitoring procedures by public and private entities involved in intervention, and the methods of requesting activation and interacting with the service itself.
The course will be delivered in collaboration with the Joint Research Centre of the European Union, the entity that coordinates the service at the European level, and the Department of Civil Protection. The course is also organized in collaboration with ISPRA as part of the "Geosciences" project activities.
Details:
• The Copernicus program and the national-level organization
• Theoretical and applied assumptions
• Description of the service and practical examples
Target
The course is aimed at professionals who want to acquire in-depth knowledge of the Emergency Management Service developed within Copernicus (https://www.copernicus.eu/it), the European Union's Earth observation program.
Through this thematic focus, the course wants to transfer knowledge about the functioning of Copernicus, starting from the dynamics of public-private collaboration and technology transfer.
The programme is therefore aimed at sectors such as:
- local and national public entities (including local Civil Protection agencies),
- private companies in sectors that are most interested in developing new data-driven approaches for emergency response (e.g., insurance sector, agriculture, public utilities),
- aerospace companies intending to develop products and solutions for emergency management using Earth observation data.
