Information

On 9 March 2023, the STEREO team is organizing its annual Belgian Earth Observation Day (BEODay).


After a virtual event in 2020 and no event in 2021 and 2022 the BEODAY is back as a fully physical event!

This year the event will mainly focus on the new STEREO programme STEREO IV (objectives, priorities, project types, schedule of calls…) but also on the funding opportunities offered by the FuturEO programme of ESA. The event will kick-off with a presentation of the new Belgian Climate Center.

Researchers as well as people working in private companies and administrations are welcome to attend.

Registration is free but mandatory.
