Van Allen Foundation + IEEE GRSS: Call for Ideas
The van Allen Foundation of the Université de Montpellier, France, and IEEE GRSS invite public and private organizations to propose ideas and suggestions aimed at addressing the issue of detection and tracking of marine pollution and litter in the western part of the Mediterranean Sea, including the Gulf of Lion, the Ligurian Sea, and the Balearic Sea.
Young Professionals (YP) in Geoscience and Remote Sensing
IEEE Young Professionals is a group of IEEE members and volunteers who have graduated from their first professional degree within the past 15 years. It is an international community, whose members are interested in elevating their professional image, expanding their global network, connecting with peers locally, and giving back to their community. Since it encompasses all members from recent university graduates to experienced professionals and entrepreneurs, the group is highly diverse in what it has to offer.
