Field(s) of activity/research for the traineeship

This fellowship aims to explore the use of space and ground-based EO products integrated with disruptive technologies to address green solutions for a sustainable future.


For example, you will deploy AI-automated algorithms to:
- identify suitable locations for new green energy facilities (such as on/offshore wind farms and solar power plants);
- forecast short-range renewable energy production for a hybrid energy system approach;
- quantify the uncertainty of low-cost real-time air sensing monitors;
- collect and harmonise data for operation in an intelligent digital system (digital twin);
- detect and quantify methane leakages from 'institutional' and 'New Space' satellite missions to monitor methane and other greenhouse gas emissions;
- detect natural disasters (such as wildfire ignition points and floods) through human sensor social networks (multimodal crowd sourcing and satellite imagery).
-1) What are the green solutions for a sustainable future that you would like to address?
2) What is your chosen disruptive technology?
3) Why is this research proposal important to society?
