Satcom Forum 2022

11-13 October 2022, Hybrid

☞ Presentations can be downloaded here.

☞ All the recordings are now available here.

Background

Satcom Forum meetings are a place where scientists who use satellite communications to collect data from remote instruments (such as weather stations, drifting buoys or hydrological gauging stations) can meet both the satellite network operators and the manufacturers of instrumentation. It’s a chance to learn about new products and services, and for the networks and manufacturers to learn about the challenges that the scientific community are facing.

Date

11, 12, 13 October 2022

Format

The meeting is conducted only in English in a hybrid format.

You are more than welcome to join the meeting physically in Paris, but remote participation is also possible, both for speakers and attendees.
