Additionally, in order to give further visibility on your work, we also invite you to provide a video by September 18, which will be uploaded to the ESA's EO Open Science YouTube Channel and will be on display on a dedicated screen during the event.
The contents and format of the video are left to the creativity of the presenter: we expect screen records of powerpoint presentations, close-up speeches taken with mobile phones as well as advanced videos, animations and sounds. Standard video formats like .avi, .mov, .wmv, .mp4 ... are expected. Video duration shall not exceed 2 minutes and its size shall not exceed 500 MB.
Each video shall be delivered to eoopenscience@esa.int via "wetransfer" (www.wetransfer.com) by September 18th , in order to ensure its publication and diffusion by the date of the workshop.
