HACKATHON Registration

If you want to join both events, registrations need to be done separately for the
two events. You are welcome to register and hopefully join both events!

Hackathon – detailed Information:

want to know more!

The main topic of the school will be to present the theoretical and practical aspects in surface deformation monitoring by application of the three main observing methods used within the GATHERS project:

  • Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR)
  • Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)
  • Global navigation satellite system (GNSS)

The 3rd GATHERS school will be at an advanced level and we will be happy to welcome people with some knowledge on these fields or participating in GATHERS events already. Applicants from european Union are especially encouraged to apply.

There is NO fee for participants of the school. The organisers will cover:

  • accommodations in Rome
  • coffee breaks
  • lunches
  • gala dinner
  • Social event in the city of Rome
