Eurisy Dublin Conference Panel

Steve Keyworth, Director of Environment Systems was invited to be one of the panelists in the round table discussion on 20th May for "What are the limiting and facilitating factors in the implementation of satellite information and services by Local and Regional Authorities" hosted by EURISY.

During the Dublin workshop, pioneering regions from across Europe presented their “success stories of using satellite services to drive economic growth, so as to disseminate best practices. Alan Brown, Remote Sensing Manager, Countryside Council for Wales, was invited to present on the satellite-based habitat mapping of Wales as a successful regional case study in using satellite information for public service delivery.  This project is currently being delivered by Environment Systems and Aberystwyth University.   

The event was primarily for Local and Regional Authorities with an interest in how to best equip themselves to anticipate and stay on top of tomorrow’s challenges of global competition.

Note:
Satellite information and services are innovative tools that support public measures for economic development. For instance, they support building and modernising infrastructure in order to improve accessibility, transport and professional mobility, to reduce digital divide and facilitate e-governance. They help protect the local heritage and take other measures that benefit tourism activities. Such measures increase their economic attractiveness contributing to Cities’ and Regions’ sustainable development.
