On 3 December, Jordobservasjon AS – the secretariat of ESA Arctic Phi-Lab Norway – hosts OVERBLIKK 2026, a free one-day conference on Earth observation and satellite data at Sjølyst møtesenter in Oslo. The conference is organised in partnership with the Norwegian Space Agency (Direktoratet for romvirksomhet).
OVERBLIKK brings together business, public administration and research across sectors to show how data from space can support better decisions on the ground – in land use, infrastructure, nature, climate, risk and preparedness. No prior knowledge of Earth observation is needed.
Programme highlights
- Opening keynote by Cecilie Myrseth, Minister of Trade, Industry and Fisheries
- A day without satellites – keynote by Petter Evju Skanke
- Satellites in practice: Catchwise and Cuatro Group show how they use satellite data today
- Lightning talks from Arctic Phi-Lab projects, including OASIS (SINTEF Nord) and Tycho
- Panel: Why isn’t satellite data used more than it is?
- Presentation of the report on a national centre for Earth observation
- What’s next? – keynote by Robert Jenssen (UiT) on new satellites, AI and what becomes possible over the next five years
More speakers will be announced.
