M2GARSS 2020: the 1st Mediterranean and Middle-East (M2) regional symposium: organization & perspectives
During this webinar, we will discuss the organization of M2GARSS 2020, the 1st Mediterranean and Middle-East (M2) regional symposium that was held from March 9th to March 11th, 2020 in Tunis, Tunisia.
In addition, we will talk about how it offered an ideal forum for obtaining up-to-date information about the latest developments, exchanging ideas, identifying future trends in research areas and making contacts with the international remote sensing community. Since it has gathered M2 and world-class scientists, engineers and educators engaged in the fields of geoscience, remote sensing and related topics.
Riadh Abdelfattah will talk about “M2GARSS 2020, the first GRSS symposium mixing online and physical participation: Lessons learned”, while Fairouz Stambouli will talk about “M2GARSS 2020, a fulfilling experience for students and Young Professionals”.
