SPLITRS 2016 is taking us to Chania, Greece

Remote Sensing for Mediterranean Ecosystems (SplitRS 2016) is an international and interactive event between universities, research institutions and private firms. It considers the state-of-the-art remote sensing technology, sophisticated and comprehensive modelling approaches, data analysis, sophisticated software capabilities – all of which is incorporated in the framework of building the well-designed strategy to protect natural resources and public well-being.

SPLITRS 2016 means

CREATIVE THINKING and INTEGRATIVE LEARNING

      AMAZING LOCATION !!! – CHECK IT OUT !
      • CHANIA: The charming city of Chania managed to preserve its original colors and historical character as one of the most beautiful cities of Greece and the most picturesque city of Crete. Since the ancient times, the city of Chania has faced many conquerors and the influences of many civilizations through time.

Paradise for the Sense: Crete – Greece | Crossroad of Civilizations

The objective of SPLITRS 2016 is to:

        • promote the state-of-the-art Remote Sensing Technology among university students and young professionals
        • strengthen young people’s professional networking.

G-ECO Research welcomes participants of all racial and cultural backgrounds and encourages women to apply.

This intensive and advanced, 5-day learning event, presents best insights into most recent techniques learned from top international professors and researchers through hands-on sessions and lectures. Participants will learn about different remote sensing applications using primarily UAS (drone), hyperspectral and LiDAR sensors. Learning about information extraction techniques will be an integral part of the school program in 2016.

The program will not demand prior comprehensive knowledge of remote sensing, but prior understanding is recommended. Participants are expected to follow the program throughout the five days and they will receive a certificate of attendance specifying each of the lectures followed. The certificates will include the recommendation that the SPLIT Remote Sensing program may be used as enhancements to existing degree programs or as a stand-alone course.

PROFESSIONALS: 480 Euro
STUDENTS: 280 Euro
(including lecture notes, ice-breaker and Chania at night, a special event with dinner)

SPLITRS is a non-profit school.
