GEOSS Workshops

For a current list of workshops and more information regarding the GEOSS workshops, visit the GEOSS Workshops page on the ICEO website.

The IEEE, ISPRS, OGC and other participating organization and members of GEO have sponsored a series of workshops entitled “The User and the GEOSS Architecture” beginning in July 2005. Nine were held through the end of 2006 with additional nine planned for 2007. These workshops give Users and Providers of Earth Observation Information an opportunity to better understand GEOSS and its benefits for key societal impact areas. In addition, the workshops provide a forum for Users to make recommendations for GEOSS implementation. As GEOSS has evolved including the development in 2007 of a prototype operational capability, the workshops are expanding to become a forum for engineering and applications of the system of systems. The workshops are traditionally one or two days and have no fees to encourage broad user participation. However, to encourage discussion and interaction among participants, attendance is usually limited on a first come-first served basis. Registration is requested for planning purposes.
