Prioritisation discussion

How can satellite imagery respond to the critical dearth of data where the wellbeing, prosperity, and sustainability of UK areas and places is concerned? Join us for a one-day workshop to explore existing data gaps and needs and to discuss data priorities and the ways in which satellite imagery offers a solution. 

We're keen to hear from researchers, practitioners, stakeholders, and policmakers working in domains related to health, economic development, and environmental sustainability!

Additional information 

Imago is the Imagery Data Service, part of the Smart Data Research UK family of data services. Funded in October '24, Imago's mission is to unlock the potential of satellite imagery to provide a much richer understanding of urgent challenges facing the UK. It will adopt a highly innovative approach, combining novel computing and AI methods with stakeholder collaboration to develop new data products at scale. These new datasets, along with training and research, will help address pressing issues in fields such as environmental vulnerability, urban development and housing, inequalities, and wellbeing.
