On October 26, CCRES held a workshop for the Cloud Remote Sensing community in Heraklion, during the ACTRIS Week. 

Around 50 persons from 17 different countries attended this workshop, in hybrid mode. 10 National Facilities were represented, enabling a fruitful sharing of feedback on the labelling process. New services to the community were presented and demonstrated.
