Data Science for Earth Observation: Hands-on Training in Python, R and Julia
OpenGeoHub Summer School is an annual event that has been running at various locations in Europe, North America, and Australia since 2010, inviting researchers and specialists in developing open-source software and open data to help others improve analysis and modeling frameworks.
Location: Wageningen, Netherlands
The 2025 edition was organized in collaboration with EO Council,Netherlands Space Office and SURF. The Summer School consisted of live presentations and demos by leading EO modelers and OSGeo developers, workshops, discussion panels, machine learning competition, and several social events.
Hackathons are organized under the EU funded Open-Earth-Monitor project. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 101059548.
This Summer School is a not-for-profit event.
