ISRO Offers Two Free Online Workshops With Certificate

The Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, which is a centre of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has invited applications for two new free online workshops for one day. The first workshop will be held on 16 July 2021 on the topic "SAR application for flood hazard mapping and monitoring," and the second workshop will be conducted on 11 August 2021 on "Lunar Remote Sensing and its Applications."

Participants can register and attend the course using the IIRS e-class portal or by visiting the institute's official YouTube channel. An ISRO certificate will be awarded to those who attend the entire live workshop via the e-class portal. Participants who take part in the workshop through the IIRS YouTube channel should mark their attendance via offline sessions, which will be available after 24 hours.
