CALL FOR CONTRIBUTION

Oral presentations
Participants to the 17th EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa are invited to contribute to the Forum by sharing their experience, success stories, and research results.

As in previous Forum editions, several sessions will welcome contributions from African institutions, in particular sessions #3 to #10 are an opportunity for users in Africa to demonstrate the applications of satellite data in their daily activities.

Participants are invited to submit an abstract of their proposed contribution to the Organising Committee (ufa@eumetsat.int, subject “contribution”). Best proposed contributions will be selected for a plenary presentation (slides) or for a poster exhibition. Sponsorship to support participation of authors from Africa can be also offered.

Poster presentations
In addition to the various sessions, a poster exhibition and a live demonstration of data, products, and software is planned to take place in the framework of the 17th EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa.

Participants interested in presenting posters or contributions related to the themes of the Forum are invited to display their materials in this area.
Posters are encouraged to showcase how EUMETSAT and other satellite data are used in Africa, in particular (but not exclusively) within the thematic areas of the Forum sessions. The poster presentations will be available throughout the week of the Forum. Coffee breaks and lunches will provide opportunities for participants to visit the exhibition and for authors to present and discuss their work.

Demonstration area
EUMETSAT will organise a demonstration area where entities can showcase products and/or services related to the use of Earth Observation (EO) in Africa and associated applications.

If you are a data provider or application developer and are interested in presenting your products or applications in the demonstration area, you are kindly invited to contact the Organising Committee as soon as possible in order to allow for appropriate arrangements.
