›Development and Cooperation in the Mediterranean region using satellite services

The Eurisy Conference "Development and Cooperation in the Mediterranean region using satellite services" has been re-scheduled for Spring 2011 (and will not take place on 14-15 October in
Rabat).  The venue and exact dates remains to be defined.

This Conference aims to offer a forum to development experts, policy- and decision-makers at local, regional, continental and international levels, satellite service providers, civil society organisations and specialists of the Mediterranean region to:

• Exchange good practices on how satellite information and services help tackle the challenges around the Mediterranean
• Identify the needs of public administrations, businesses, civil society organisations and other potential users with regard to satellite services
• Analyse service providers' capacities to meet users' needs
• Initiate cooperation among service providers, and among users, around the Mediterranean
• Identify user requirements for infrastructure development
• Provide the resulting bottom-up feedback to decision-makers

This Conference takes place within a joint two year project (2010-2011) by Eurisy and the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) addressing Euro-African cooperation on space applications for the development of Africa. It is sponsored by the European Space Agency.
