To make informed decisions, you need up-to-date, reliable, and accessible data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Copernicus, the Earth Observation component of the EU Space Programme<\/strong> provides vast amounts of satellite data from Sentinel missions\u2014free of charge and updated every few days or even hours.<\/p>\n<p>However, for many technicians and local administrations, the challenge is not the availability of data, but knowing <strong>where to find it<\/strong> and <strong>how to use it effectively<\/strong> for land management. In this webinar, IPTSAT experts will demonstrate how to access Copernicus data and apply it to urban planning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What You Will Learn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During the webinar, you will discover how to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Access satellite data from the Copernicus program.<\/li>\n<li>Find and download Sentinel imagery.<\/li>\n<li>Explore data using online tools.<\/li>\n<li>Integrate satellite data into <strong>GIS software<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Use data for environmental and urban analysis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tools Featured:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem<\/li>\n<li>Copernicus Browser<\/li>\n<li>QGIS integration via <strong>openEO <\/strong><em>(Includes short practical demonstrations on how to get started)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Use Cases for Smart Cities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We will explore real-world examples of satellite data for urban monitoring:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83c\udf21\ufe0f <strong>Urban Heat Islands<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf33 <strong>Urban Greenery:<\/strong> Distribution and health monitoring.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udfd7\ufe0f <strong>Land Consumption:<\/strong> Tracking soil sealing and urban growth.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udca7 <strong>Water Quality Monitoring<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Who Should Attend?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This webinar is ideal for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Public Administration Technicians<\/li>\n<li>Urban and Regional Planners<\/li>\n<li>GIS Professionals<\/li>\n<li>Researchers and Students<\/li>\n<li>Environmental and Land-Use Consultants<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>No advanced experience with satellite data is required.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Introduction (5 min):<\/strong> The role of satellite data for cities and the Copernicus Program.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accessing Copernicus Data (20 min):<\/strong> Tool overview and practical demonstration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use Cases for Smart Cities (15 min):<\/strong> Applications for urban monitoring.<\/li>\n<li><strong>New Tools &amp; Perspectives (5 min):<\/strong> Smart data access and platform evolution.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Q&amp;A (15 min):<\/strong> Open discussion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Join us and learn how to leverage Copernicus data for city monitoring.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>      <time datetime=\"2026-04-22T12:00:00Z\">Wed, 22\/04\/2026 &#8211; 12:00<\/time><\/p>\n<p>            <time datetime=\"2026-04-22T12:00:00Z\">Wed, 22\/04\/2026 &#8211; 12:00<\/time><\/p>\n<p>            No<\/p>\n<p>            No<\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iptsat.com\/en\/free-webinar-copernicus-for-smart-cities-satellite-data-to-support-urban-decisions\/\">More information<\/a><\/p>\n<p>            No<\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.copernicus.eu\/en\/events\/category\/webinar\">Webinar<\/a><\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.copernicus.eu\/en\/events\/topic\/land-use\">Land use<\/a><br \/>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.copernicus.eu\/en\/events\/topic\/urban-areas\">Urban areas<\/a><\/p>\n<p>            Online event<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-muted mb-0\">\n      <strong>Time:<\/strong>\n    <\/p>\n<p>          4:00 pm<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Webinar: Copernicus for Smart Cities \u2013 Satellite Data to Support Urban Decisions sonia Fri, 13\/03\/2026 &#8211; 10:31 IPTSAT is pleased to host the webinar \u201cCopernicus for Smart Cities: Using Satellite Data to Support Urban Decisions.\u201d This session is designed for public administration technicians, urban planners, and professionals interested in leveraging satellite data for land-use planning.
