Working groups
EOA provides connection and coordination services for groups of like minded people who are working on particular aspects to progress Earth observation capability.
Each EOA Working Group (WG) will define its own internal structure and run by leading scientists and joined with expert members who are interested in further advancing the relevant work. Each of the EOA WGs will have its own working scope and objectives with methodologies to achieve them. These groups also design WG long-term or short-term plans in order to implement the aims of the associated working group. It is desired that from time to time the EOA WG organises a dedicated workshop and/or has a dedicated Session at an EOA event.
EOA WG is open to everyone in a non-exclusive manner; cultural diversity, gender equality, and a good balanced worldwide representation is encouraged. For information about joining a particular WG, please contact the Lead Chair for more information.
