Tartalmi leírás:
The TIGER Capacity Building Facility focused on
closing the technological gap between the users and the
earth observation community within the TIGER
programme. Thirteen projects participated in different
aspects of the capacity building facility:
1. - Basic education, provided via distance learning.
2. - Tailored short courses, selected according to the
research interest and technical background of the
participants.
3. - Research topic oriented supervision, provided by
specialists of the research fields of the participants.
4. - Advanced short courses focusing on selected
earth observation techniques.
Distance education turned to be efficient and cost
effective in the programme - but only for those, who
followed the courses completely. There was a relatively
large percentage that could not complete the studies. The
second and the third type of education were carried out in
ITC, in the Netherlands. The participants evaluated the
courses and the supervision very effective and adequate.
Nevertheless, the follow-up was not always possible.
Two advanced short courses were held in Africa (Cape
Town and Nairobi). One of them addressed the 'scientific
elite' of the EO community, whilst the second focused on
the users of this technology.
