The Laboratory of Geophysical-Satellite Remote Sensing and Archaeo-Environment of the Institute of Mediterranean Studies became a member of the network Copernicus Academy.

This network, which brings together European universities, research institutes and private non-profit organizations, is a European Commission initiative aimed at attracting new potential users of Copernicus satellite data through the creation of pan-European information and education structures. Specifically, the goal of the network is to develop lectures, seminars, practical exercises, as well as educational and training material in undergraduate and postgraduate courses, which will enable the next generation of researchers, scientists and entrepreneurs to benefit from the open data and services provided  from the satellites (Sentinels) of the Copernicus program.

As an integral part of the European space strategy, the Copernicus Academy network has the ambition to contribute to the exploitation of Copernicus's enormous potential for the benefit of Europe's citizens and the entire planet.
