SUNSHINE Technical Webinar [Registrations open]
\nsonia<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

SUNSHINE<\/strong>\u202fis an EU-funded project coordinated by the\u202fEuropean Commission\u2019s Directorate-General for Defence Industry and Space<\/u><\/a>\u202f(DG DEFIS). It aims to strengthen disaster resilience across Europe by facilitating the\u202fuptake of EU Space Programme data and services<\/strong>\u202f- such as Copernicus EMS, Galileo EWSS, SSA, and GOVSATCOM -\u202fwithin civil protection frameworks, supporting the objectives of the\u202f<\/strong>Union Civil Protection Mechanism<\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u202f(UCPM).<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

As part of its capacity-building activities, the SUNSHINE project is organising a\u202ffull-day online technical training webinar on 20 January 2026<\/strong>, from\u202f09:30 to 17:00 CET<\/strong>. The webinar will combine project-level context with hands-on technical training sessions, providing participants with concrete guidance on how to access and use EU Space services for disaster preparedness, early warning, response and recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The\u202fmorning sessions<\/strong>\u202fwill begin with a short introduction to the SUNSHINE project, including its objectives, scope and training approach. This will be followed by technical training modules focusing on\u202fCopernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS)<\/strong>, with particular attention to the\u202fEuropean Drought Observatory (EDO)<\/strong>\u202fand the\u202fGlobal Human Settlement Layer (GHSL)<\/strong>. These sessions will demonstrate how CEMS products can support situational awareness, risk monitoring and impact assessment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The\u202fafternoon sessions<\/strong>\u202fwill focus on\u202fGalileo-based services<\/strong>, including the\u202fEmergency Warning Satellite Service (EWSS)<\/strong>,\u202fOpen Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA)<\/strong>\u202fand the\u202fSearch and Rescue (SAR)<\/strong>. Participants will gain an overview of these services and their relevance for civil protection operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Throughout the day, the webinar will adopt an interactive format. Training sessions will include demonstrations<\/strong>, real-time screen sharing of operational portals<\/strong>,\u202fquizzes<\/strong>, and guided exercises, allowing participants to familiarise themselves with data access procedures and explore datasets directly. Dedicated Q&A moments will enable direct interaction with experts and trainers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
