ntn The increase in new Low Earth Orbit satellite constellations has resulted in a surge of compatibility studies being carried out to understand how Non-Geosynchronous Orbit (NGSO) and Geosynchronous Orbit satellites (GSO) can coexist. The issue has arisen from the demand in new high speed broadband services but also the cost of producing and launching satellites into orbit reducing greatly in recent years. There are many complexities in solving the compatibility between NGSO and GSO systems due to the muti-dimensional and highly dynamic nature of both systems. We will focus on the main technical parameters and calculations that are used to determine the unacceptable levels of interference. The course will look across the different services including MSS, FSS (BSS) but also protection of EESS in a range of frequency bands. This course will also touch upon the two approaches to Direct to Device services. This is the use of Mobile Satellite Service spectrum but also Mobile Service spectrum bands. We will cover the implications and challenges of adopting each approach and how regulations will need to evolve to support these approaches. Course Objectives After completing the course, participants will be aware of the technical complexities of conducting compatibility studies that take place within the ITU.

The Basics of Carbon Capture and Storage course covers: the role of CCS within decarbonisation as an aspect of earth system science; why CCS is necessary; how CO2 is captured in industrial processes and how it can be used industrially; the factors affecting geological storage; how CO2 stores are monitored for leakage; how CCS will be regulated; how CCS will pay for itself; and the social licence for CCS. The course will be delivered in simple non-technical language suitable for non-specialists. The course satisfies a part of the market that is not currently catered for – the wider science, risks, financing, planning and social licence aspects of CCS. These are issues that are as important as the technical issues (in, for example, reservoir engineering) in the sense that any of these elements can be a show-stopper for CCS. Although the course will cover the technical geological and engineering aspects of CCS, it will also consider how these technical, policy and science aspects affect planning, regulation and financing of CCS.

A key aspect often overlooked, is that greater confidence in both the financial position, and the control mechanisms that are available to employees and managers, will enhance a leader’s risk-awareness. In turn (depending on a range of other factors), this can be a key enabler for business culture that embraces greater levels of creativity and value creation. This programme provides a comprehensive foundation in business finance – covering all the major areas needed to be a fully-functioning member of the mid-senior management team. It is ideal for current or aspiring managers, specialists with financial responsibility, or identified talent / graduates. Although financial principles do not change, they can be applied in very specific ways, depending on the industry / organisation. Examples, case studies and exercises are tailored accordingly Topic Areas Include: The Financial Cycle and Reporting Key Accounting Concepts The Company Operating (Finance) Cycle Three Principal Accounting Documents KPIs, Ratios and Financial Analysis Understanding Finance Key Financial Ratios – Categories and Examples Profitability Efficiency Equity, Loans, and Gearing / Leverage Valuation - Controlling Investment Financial Control, Budgets and Evaluating Initiatives / Projects The Importance of Budgeting and Forecasting Budgets – Getting Specific Mitigating Bad Budget Culture (Teams Aiming for 100% Budget Spend) Understanding Return on Investment (ROI) Cumulative Cash Flows Calculating ROI and using Net Present Value (NPV) Assessing Projects and Using NP
