Provide an overview on current land product Cal/Val approaches and protocols and their evolution The workshop will be held at ESA/ESRIN, Frascati, Italy, from 27 February to 01 March 2018 it intends to address the following objectives: The meeting will be structured around a set of plenary presentations given by expert practitioners working with Copernicus Sentinel-2 and other similar missions to inform on the lessons learned and priorities based on experience, a poster session of potential cal/val community activities including validation campaigns and methods.įollowing the successful LPVE 2014, the European Space Agency (ESA) is inviting scientists and Cal/Val experts to present the latest results from their on-going research, including the evolution of products, the latest development in validation, the inter-comparison methodologies and the evolution of algorithms, at the 2018 Workshop on Land Product Validation and Evolution (LPVE 2018). The recommendations will be used to contribute to the quality assessment of the mission core products while exploiting Copernicus Sentinel-2 data and to give support to the Cal/Val activities. The S2VT aims at collecting independent validation evidence and experimental data to support the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission. The meeting will be held at ENSEEIHT in Toulouse, France from 12 to 14 March 2019. The objective of the Sentinel-2 Validation Team Meeting (S2VT) is to provide a forum for interaction among different researchers from both industrial and academic laboratories and institutions in order to foster the development of efficient and effective Calibration and Validation methods. The meeting will be structured around a set of plenary presentations given by experts working with Copernicus Sentinel-2 and other similar missions to inform on the lessons learned and priorities based on experience, and a poster session of potential cal/val community activities including validation campaigns and methods. Talks and posters will be presented by a Cal/Val community who are highly familiar with validation campaigns and methods. The S2VT meeting provides lectures by international audience of scientists from both industrial and academic institutions working with Copernicus Sentinel-2 and other relevant EO missions emphasizing integrative and multi-disciplinary approaches. The S2VT meeting focuses on providing independent validation evidence, experimental results to support the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission.

The 4th S2VT meeting will take place on 15-17 March 2021 as a virtual meeting (due to COVID-19).

The S2VT meeting is a forum for the Copernicus Sentinel-2 scientific and user community to present and share results of on-going activities related to validation of Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B products and to foster cooperation and synergies among Cal/Val teams.
