The WorldCereal team will organize three distinct Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). The goal of these courses is to provide a broad conceptual background to the topic of (global) cropland mapping and monitoring for any interested user.

Topics that will be addressed in these MOOCs include (1) field data collection, harmonization and model training; (2) how to use the WorldCereal system for crop type mapping and (3) validation and downstream user applications (statistics, yield estimation, food security).

Subscribe to our mailing list if you want to be notified on newly released MOOCs.

At least three face-to-face trainings will be organized in collaboration with key stakeholders and likely adopters of the WorldCereal system. The thematic focus of the trainings will be on (1) field data collection and (2) use of the WorldCereal system.
