The Presentations from the METIER participants were divided into two parallel sessions:

1. Remote sensing of air, land and water (Room Sicco Mansholt)
2. Data management, visualisation, modelling and forecasting (Room Jean Durieux)

From theory to praxis - Presentations from METIER participants on how they applied the knowledge gained in the METIER courses
