Product Description
A webinar aiming to provide to the participants basic knowledge about the development and application of an early warning system to help prevent outbreaks for mosquito borne diseases.
The webinar is coorganized by the University of Patras (in the frame of EO4GEO project) in collaboration with the BEYOND EO Center and the EuroGEO Action Group “Earth Observation for Epidemics of Vector-borne Diseases”.
The participants will be able to understand the basics about the development of an early warning system for mosquito borne diseases. The development of an early warning system and its benefits on disease outbreaks will be presented for selected cases at regional and municipal level.
The webinar is mainly non-technical and targets planners at regional, city and municipal scale as well professionals with no extensive experience on early warning systems.
