Note that there are two different application forms. One for applicants who need funding and one for such who travel self-funded. Applicants who will be funded will will receive two emails once the selection process has ended. One concerning your acceptance to attend the meeting, and a separate one if you are selected by the organisers to be a funded participant. Note that only a limited number of participants from developing countries will be funded.
If your organisation is not yet a Space4Water stakeholder, but active in using space-based technology or data for water (resource) management, hydrology or ecosystem preservation please apply to become a stakeholder first (no later than 10 July), by filling this form.
If you are a young professional using space-based technology or data for water related issues and are not yet part of our young professionals, fill in this form (no later than 10 July).
Note: applying as a stakeholder or young professional, does not mean you applied for attending at the meeting. You need to do both to be considered for participation.
