Women are part of the
Copernicus experience. They are not always visible but they are present in the
production flow of the Copernicus / Earth Observation / Geoinformation
(Copernicus/EO/GI) domains. The professions related to Copernicus/EO/GI domains
are very varied: physicist, geographer, computer scientist, environmentalist,
geomatician, oceanographer, urban planner ; as a researcher, a civil servant, a
consultant, an entrepreneur, etc. Women still occupy few of these positions
with a strong technical component.
The "Women in Copernicus" projects wants to give a voice and a face
to the women who work with Copernicus, wether they are experts in the analysis
of satellite data or users of Copernicus services in various fields of
application. The project aims to identify opportunities and obstacles in the
paths of these women, and also to inspire girls and women by bringing Women in
Copernicus to the forefront of Copernicus.
More information and a 10min survey addressing European Women working or having worked with Copernicus data or in the Copernicus domain of activities can be found here: www.womenincopernicus.eu/
