CDE space related start-ups and progress in EO*GI science

We support our students in their early career steps and are grateful for funding opportunities such as ESA Business Incubation Centres (ESA BICs). The Copernicus Master in Digital Earth programme board and faculty is impressed by student’s achievements in exceptional scientific development contributions in the domains Earth Observation, Geoinformatics and Digital Earth.
