The Silesian University of Technology became a member of the Copernicus Academy network
The program, coordinated and managed by the European Commission, is implemented in cooperation with the Member States, the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), the European Center for Medium-Range Forecasting (ECMWF), EU agencies and the Mercator Océan research institute.
The program provides information services based on satellite data (Sentinel) and in situ data from different stations that provide data obtained by numerous sensors on land, at sea or in the air. On the basis of satellite images, maps are created, features and anomalies are determined and statistical information can be obtained.

The Copernicus Academy network connects European universities, research institutions, business schools, private organizations and non-profit organizations from participating countries. The purpose of this network is to link research and academia and authorities and service providers, facilitate collaborative research, develop lectures, training sessions, internships, and educational and training materials to equip the next generation of researchers, scientists and entrepreneurs with appropriate toolkits to take advantage of the full potential of Copernicus Data and Information Services.
