SURPRISE Engagement Webinar

Our first engagement webinar was organised in September 2020, with representatives from 3 National Space Agencies and Offices and participation of our User Community Panel members: Raffaele Vitulli and Alessandro Zuccaro Marchi from ESA-ESTEC and Roberto Bonsignori from EUMETSAT. You can read the Webinar report here SURPRISE_WebinarReport_200910.
