 International collaboration among space agencies is central to the success of satellite Earth observations and data analysis, aiming at providing an accurate and timely information to decision-makers, main stakeholders and public. These partnerships foster more comprehensive measurements, robust datasets, and cost-effective missions.
 
 The **European Space Agency (ESA)**, **Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)**, and **National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)** have combined their resources, technical knowledge, and expertise to produce this Earth Observing Dashboard, which strengthens our global understanding of the changing environment with human activity.

-The dashboard provides an easy-to-use resource for all kinds of public from the scientist to the decision-maker, including people not familiar with satellites. Based on accurate remote sensing observations, it shows how or example, how social distancing measures and regional shelter-in-place guidelines affected Earth’s air, land, and water during the pandemic. The dashboard offers a precise, objective and factual view without any artifacts of our planet. You can explore countries and regions around the world to see how the indicators in specific locations changed over time.

+Supported by the rich information provided by the EO data, the dashboard provides interactive narratives addressing societally relevant topics, such as the importance of forests in the climate system, accelerating melting in the Arctic, or processes ocurring in the oceans. 
 
 ESA, JAXA, and NASA will continue to enhance this dashboard as new data becomes available.
 
 ## Documentation
 
-EO Dashboard is supported by the three agencies via several activities. Each agency contributes with:
-- EO Data and EO Science 
-- In-kind expertise (science, technology, and communication experts)
-- Infrastructure and technology: [NASA’s VEDA](https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/dashboard/), ESA’s [Euro Data Cube](https://eurodatacube.com) and the [Network of Resources](https://nor-discover.org), [Jaxa’s Earth-graphy](https://earth.jaxa.jp/en/)

-### Hands-on Tutorials and Competitions 
+The EO Dashboard application is based on the [eodash ecosystem](https://eodash.org/). 
+
+## Hands-on Tutorials and Competitions 
 
 The EO Dashboard is organising and supporting hands-on workshops and global open competitions, including the NASA Space Apps, the [EO Dashboard Hackathon](https://www.eodashboardhackathon.org/) and IGARSS Tutorials, workshops at FOSS4G, and many others.

-*Note: If you are participating in a competition or tutorial using the EO Dashboard, you will be working in a JupyterLab Workspace in the EDC environment. Access to the EDC services will be provided free of charge by ESA via Network of Resources sponsorship. Free trial subscrptions to EDC can be used at any time to familiarize with the platform, but specific tutorial notebooks and other material will only be availale in the free environment provided for the tutorial or competition. To use the EDC services participants need to register for an EDC account using a specific EVENT URL announced prior to the event. Upon registration, a tailored workspace is made available either immediatelly or at the start of the event.A notification via email is sent to participants once the workspace is available at https://hub.eox.at.*
