21/09/2016 - 22/09/2016
The workshop is organised by the Directorate Climate Action and Resource Efficiency of European Commission’s DG Research and Innovation in collaboration with DG CONNECT, DG GROW, the JRC, EARSC, ESA (ESRIN), Geospatial Media and Communications BV, and HCP international.
The overall objective of this workshop will be to explore Research and Innovation (R&I) actions needed for the development of a dynamic Earth observation (EO) market in Europe in relation to the Copernicus and GEO initiatives (Group on Earth Observations). European commercial entities involved or interested in Earth observation are particularly welcome and encouraged to participate.
The three main themes of the workshop will be the following:
- Characterise the current EO market in Europe and globally and its future trends (new EO services and products);
- Identify R&I actions in support to the delivery of new EO services and products g. within Copernicus and GEO (Group on Earth Observations), and definition of appropriate measures to accelerate their uptake by industry;
- Elaborate a mechanism for consulting/involving the European commercial sector towards GEO and Copernicus taking into account the dialogue already initiated between the two programmes.
