Alessandra works in the Directorate of Earth Observation Programmes at the European Space Agency and is interested in informing the Agency’s strategies with assessments of the societal impacts of different missions and space technologies. A remote sensing engineer and PhD, she has been working on ground segment systems development and EO data processing for more than 15 years both in ESA and as an industrial consultant. Previously, she had worked as a researcher in satellite meteorology at the Italian National Research Centre. In recent years, Alessandra has worked with different partners to explore ways to facilitate the exploitation of ESA’s vast collection of Earth Observation data, analyzing barriers and good practices in data exploitation across various communities and application areas. In ESA, she undertakes studies on the societal benefits derived from the use of Copernicus Sentinels data.
Copernicus4Regions webinar is part of the NEREUS web-sessions series that will focus on the presentation of all projects (Copernicus4Regions, EO4GEO, CoRdiNet, IMPRESSIVE, Space Girls Space Women) that the Network currently implements. The purpose of these webinars is to showcase the important role of regions in EU initiatives related to the use of space.
