OPTIMISE "ABEL" Training School
The Training School on UAVs and biogeochemical cycling is organised by COST Action ES1309 OPTIMISE and it is aimed to young researchers from across Europe involved in spectral measurements.
Besides the lectures on spectroscopy and biogeochemistry, a field campaign will take place at the experimental site Las Majadas: students will be actively involved in the ground-truth activities and in the data processing.
The program has also included some hands-on sessions on spectral data integration into ecological models. Moreover, demonstration on the use of UAVs for ecosystem studies will be carried out.
A presentation of the work and of the results achieved during the Training School will be required at the end from all students.
The participation is free and the selected students will receive a grant from OPTIMISE of €900 to cover travel, accommodation, and living expenses. Students will be expected to share a room and take meals provided within the hotel that has been booked for the course.
