Centre for Earth Observation Instrumentation

A Challenge Workshop on Advances in Detector Technologies

This event described the technologies under development in the CEOI and offered the opportunity to network and meet others for possible collaborations and partnerships.

The presentations and technologies brochure from the day are available for download.

CEOI was created in 2007 and receives support from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Technology Strategy Board. Its key aim is to develop UK capabilities in future space instrumentation for Earth Observation (EO) through the teaming of scientists and industrialists.  With a vision to develop and strengthen UK expertise and capabilities in EO instrumentation, the CEOI will help to position the UK to win leading roles in future international programmes. 

The Centre for Earth Observation Instrumentation (CEOI) is a catalyst for the development of technologies for environmental and security monitoring from space.

The CEOI welcomes the involvement of all UK academic and industrial partners who can contribute to the development of UK EO capability.  In addition to technology projects led by the CEOI partners, the CEOI is also funding projects resulting from 'Open Calls', which have been led by the University of Edinburgh, Mullard Space Science Laboratory, SSTL Ltd and others. 

Set up as a partnership around technology developments, CEOI is managed by the following organisations:

• Astrium
• QinetiQ
• University of Leicester
• STFC/Rutherford Appleton Laboratory
