SUMMARY:Inauguration of The Swedish Competence Centre  for Satellite-Enabled Social Science Analytics
DESCRIPTION:[Invite only] \nThis event marks an important milestone for SESAC and an opportunity to bring together existing partners as well\nas organizations and individuals we have identified as potential collaborators\, users\, and innovators. You are\ninvited because of your experience\, perspective\, and potential role in shaping how Earth observation (EO) can be\nused to address societal challenges. \nWe hope you will join us for an afternoon of conversation\, reflection\, and forward-looking discussion on future\ndirections\, collaboration opportunities\, and shared priorities. The centre’s mission is to strengthen national capacity\nin Earth observation through research\, education\, and the development of open\, reusable workflows and analytical\ntools. By making EO-based methods more accessible\, we aim to support researchers\, students\, policymakers\, and\npractitioners in applying satellite data to real-world questions. \nIn close collaboration with public agencies\, industry\, and civil-society actors\, the centre will develop applied use\ncases that demonstrate how EO data can improve decision-making in areas such as sustainability\, public health\,\ninclusive growth\, and crisis preparedness. This co-creative approach ensures that methods\, tools\, and applications\nare both scientifically robust and socially relevant. Our consortium formalizes long-standing collaborations across\nuniversities and disciplines\, while also opening new interfaces for innovation and engagement beyond academia.\nThe inauguration is therefore not only a celebration\, but a starting point for new partnerships\, experimentation\, and\ncontinued development of Sweden’s Earth observation ecosystem. \n12:30–13:00 Doors open\n13:00–13:30 Introduction by Ola Hall\, SESAC\, Agnes  Anderson\, Dean of the Social Science faculty at LU\, Iris Lee Thomson & Ernesto Gutierres\, the Swedish National Space Agency\n13:30–13:50 Keynote 1: Dr Trevor Maynard; Vice Chair and Director of Systemic Risk at the Cambridge Centre for Risk Studies\n13:50–14:20 Panel discussion\n14:20-15:00 Mingling and opportunity to become affiliated with the center\n15:00-15:30 Keynote 2: Dr Alex de Sherbinin; Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN)\, Columbia Climate School\, Columbia University\n15:30–16:00 Panel discussion\n16:00-16.30 Closing \n
