Earth Observation Australia Awards 2024

The Earth Observation Australia Awards are an opportunity to highlight and celebrate the individuals and organisations building the Australian Earth observation (EO) community and its capabilities. In this context, our EO communities and capabilities include all types of industry, government, university, education, non-government, and community/social enterprises.

We received outstanding nominations in each of our three award categories with our experienced judging panel drawn from the EOA membership the winners were recognised and presented with a trophy at the Advancing Earth Observation Forum 2024.
