European Space Agency Forums
Wed 3rd Sep 2008
The European Space Agency is running two exciting forums on Integrated Space Applications in Health and Crisis & Disaster Management. These will discuss key issues facing each sector, solutions using integrated space applications that are under development and new paradigms for the future. There will be ample opportunity to discuss ideas with ESA and with sector thought leaders.
The Health forum will focus on Health Forecasting, Epidemiology & Risk Mapping, and Remote Medicine while the Crisis Management Forum will address how space technologies can assist in humanitarian, natural and emergency disasters. Speakers from a wide range of organisations including the HPA, MOD, ECDC, Oxford University and AFHSH will present a wide and stimulating set of views and ideas on the area.
The Forums will take place on the 3rd and 4th September and full details are available on the web at http://www.qi3.co.uk/events/event.asp?EventID=208 (Health) or http://www.qi3.co.uk/events/event.asp?EventID=209 (Crisis Management).
