The University of Leicester, in the known, coordinates a team of experts that will take a research center to form new environmental experts in the use of latest technologies of satellite and in climate change issues. This Center with the support of 'Gionet' (network operations for scientific training in Earth observation), is funded with 3.5 million euros in the framework of the EU Marie Curie actions.

The European Centre of excellence for Gionet will investigate best methods for the monitoring of climate change, environmental disasters and changes in land cover. It will also design new methods to landslide of Earth and floods, as well as the monitoring of climate change, help protect tropical forests, as well as lakes and coasts. Stipulates that this agency is the minimum number of researchers to provide emergency services and monitor the ground corresponding to the EU program dubbed 'Global environmental monitoring' and security (GMES).

Heiko Baltzer, responsible for the Department of geography of the University and the project coordinator, said recently that "in the next four years, we exhibit 14 young people in the remote sensing satellite and will be aimed at companies and universities to work abroad and benefit from the best technical and scientific training".

This study has a significant participation of experts from Germany, Hungary, Poland, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
