The Advanced Training Course in Land Remote Sensing organized under the ESA-NRSCC Dragon Programme took place from 10 to 15 October 2005 in Capital Normal University, Beijing, P.R. China.

The training course was devoted to the exploitation of ESA EO data for land applications over China. In particular, the course focussed on theory and application of radar, optical and thermal remote sensing, with emphasis on ESA ENVISAT and ERS data: (A)SAR, MERIS and (A)ATSR.

The ESA-NRSCC training course received some 167 students applications from all over China and was finally attended by 103 selected participants from 50 institutions.

7 lecturers from 5 different European countries were invited to give lectures for the course.
SAR experts included  Dr Thuy Le Toan (CESBIO, France), Prof. Eric Pottier (University of Rennes, France), Prof. Fabio Rocca (Politecnico di Milano, Italy) and Prof. Christiane Schmullius (Jena University, Germany), while the Optical and Thermal aspects were presented by Prof. Jose-Luis Casanova (University of Valladolid, Spain), Prof. Bob Su (ITC, Netherlands) and Dr Wout Verhoef (NLR, the Netherlands).
