Workshop: SSA Data Management

The third event in the GNOSIS virtual workshop series will be taking place online on Wednesday 4th of November, at 13:30 – 19:15 GMT.

This event will cover a variety of work related to various aspects of dealing with the “data of space”, such as collection and storage, validation, analysis, and distribution. The aim is to generate discussion about these topics, looking at both the present situation and future provision, and identify areas for deeper discussion and research that could form the focus of one or more sandpits. It is expected that this could generate opportunities for academic research, potentially funded through GNOSIS.

We look forward to welcoming speakers from across our global network to deliver a diverse programme of talks, which will feature contributions from both academics and industry representatives. Please see below for the schedule.
