This is the first webinar in a series dedicated to the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem (CDSE), launched in January 2023 as a next step in the evolution of Earth Observation data services. The CDSE replaces the Copernicus Open Access Hub which ceased operations in November 2023 and the DIASes.

The ecosystem offers immediate access to large amounts of open and free Earth Observation data from the Copernicus Sentinel satellites, including both new and historical Sentinel images, as well as the Copernicus Contributing Missions and selected data sets from Copernicus Services. It strives to empower users with tools and resources they need to unlock the full potential of Copernicus data.

András Zlinszky, CDSE Community Evangelist provides an overview of the functioning of the CDSE and guides participants stepbystep in the exploration of data with the Copernicus Browser and the use of JupyterLab. Whether you are a seasoned data scientist, a researcher, a student or an individual just getting started with Earth Observation, the CDSE services allows you to dive into data exploration, visualisation, and analysis without the hassle of installing software or downloading large data sets. We encourage you to follow along with your computer during the handson demonstration to kickstart your journey through the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem.
