Women in Copernicus

Women in Copernicus is a European project which aims to identify and give a voice to women involved in or using Copernicus and its data. Women are part of the Copernicus experience. They are not always visible but they are present in the production flow of the Copernicus / Earth Observation / Geoinformation (Copernicus/EO/GI) domains. The professions related to Copernicus/EO/GI domains are very varied: physicist, geographer,… [...]
