The 2019 Remote Sensing for Humanitarian Programs Workshop will be held at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA from Monday, June 24th to Friday, June 28th.

This year we also have an additional UAV workshop adjacent to the week-long workshop from Saturday, June 29nd and Sunday, June 30th. The courses can be taken together at a discounted rate, or entirely separately.

Course Overview

This training course provides humanitarian professionals the basic skills and knowledge required to use remote sensing technologies, such as satellites and drone imagery as well as GIS fundamentals, as part of humanitarian operations.

Remote Sensing Workshop

The Remote Sensing Workshop for Humanitarian Response is a five-day training conducted by the Signal Program on Human Security and Technology at the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative. The goal of the course is to equip participants with the necessary expertise to manage, design, and utilize remote sensing programs during both natural disasters and conflict-related emergencies. The course faculty is experienced in remote sensing for humanitarian response, and has extensive expertise in analyzing data from both satellites and from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in real-world-situations.

UAV Workshop

The UAV Workshop for Humanitarian Response is a two-day, hands-on seminar conducted by the Signal Program on Human Security and Technology with substantial help from the University of Vermont's Office of Emergency Management. This seminar features a full day of field instruction where participants will launch, pilot, and land UAVs, and the second day feature in-classroom lectures, case studies, and live exercises of working with data collected from the UAV.

Both courses can be taken together at a discounted rate, or entirely separately. The Remote Sensing course does cover some in-classroom UAV training; the two-day seminar offers field experience and working with collected data.
