The Copernicus Hackathon Cork effectively demonstrated how satellite imagery can help to preserve Cultural Heritage in Europe and around the world. The event also showed that cultural heritage matters to the young European professionals working with Earth Observation data.
Due to COVID-19, the Copernicus Hackathon Sofia 2020, organised by our Bulgarian member the Risk-Space Transfer Office (RST-TTO), has become a virtual one. Eurisy is supporting the event.

The COVID-19 emergency is pressuring the healthcare sector and the practice of medicine all around the world. In this tough period, it is important to cast light on the unprecedented challenges posed in the hospitals to avoid putting at risk those swathes of the population (elderlies, immunocompromised, multi-pathological patients, etc.), that might be most vulnerable to the transmission of the virus. In this difficult context, telemedicine appears as a promising option for both patients and the whole sector.
In our previous article “What we can learn from the Coronavirus crisis with satellite data”, we illustrated how space-enabled solutions contribute their share in the fight against this pandemic, and what satellite data tell us about the extraordinary current situation. We now hope that this overview of satellite applications may serve as inspiration in order to participate in the ongoing open calls that we list here.
