The Sentinel Users Preparation (SUP) initiative, part of ESA’s FutureEO programme within the Earth Observation Programmes Directorate, supports Europe’s preparations for the future Copernicus Sentinel Expansion and Next Generation missions. It aims to build expertise, advance scientific exploration, test innovative methods, and promote the uptake of new Earth observation data and information products.

The 1st Sentinel Users Preparation Coordination Workshop will bring together the community preparing for the future Copernicus Sentinel Expansion and Next Generation missions.

The workshop will offer a forum to share results from ongoing SUP activities, exchange knowledge and lessons learned, and discuss future scientific, technical, and application developments. Participants will receive updates on future Copernicus missions and contribute to discussions that will help shape upcoming SUP activities.

The event is open to researchers, industry representatives, application developers, and institutional stakeholders involved in the exploitation of future Earth observation missions.
