Exactly one year ago today, a vision became a reality. The first 25 trainees began a remarkable journey at the EORIC-UENR SATCOM Training Hub.

What started as a vision has grown into a platform for knowledge, skills development, and transformation in satellite communications.

🎉 Breaking New Ground in Ghana’s Tech Space! 📡

The Earth Observation Research and Innovation Centre (EORIC) at UENR has successfully trained and certified the first-ever batch of professionals under Ghana’s new Satellite Communication (SATCOM) Certification Programme! 🌍

From March 17–21, 2025, 25 passionate participants from across the country completed an intensive course that blended classroom learning with hands-on practice at our SATCOM Demonstration Site.

This milestone:
✅ Bridges the skills gap in satellite technology
✅ Equips locals with world-class GVF certifications
✅ Supports Ghana’s digital transformation agenda

We’re grateful to GSDF, NCA, CTVET, and our industry collaborators. Big shoutout to our expert facilitators Mr. Evans Yaw Akpene Adom and Ing. Nana Ekow Nkwa Sey for leading this historic training!

Is your salad safe? On this World Health Day, we examine the hidden dangers in our urban farms.

Across Accra, vegetables like lettuce and cabbage are often irrigated with wastewater. It helps crops grow, yes — but it also brings bacteria and viruses straight to your plate.

A study led by Dr. Prince Antwi-Agyei found shocking levels of contamination in the food we eat. But there’s hope! Simple steps like washing veggies with clean water or vinegar and choosing hygienic vendors can make a big difference.

Let’s make food safety a habit — for our health and our future.

Earth Observation for Renewable Energy in Ghana 🇬🇭

Did you know that satellites and geospatial data can help unlock Ghana’s clean energy future? A new study by researchers used powerful tools like SWAT, QGIS, and RETScreen to identify 24 small hydropower (SHP) sites in the Tano River Basin — with the potential to generate up to 46.4 GWh annually and save over 66,000 tons of CO₂ emissions each year!

This research highlights how Earth Observation supports sustainable, data-driven decisions in clean energy planning.
