General Overview

Copernicus

C O P E R N I C U S I N B R I E F

• Copernicus, the Earth Observation programme of the European Union:

– Monitors the Earth, its environment and ecosystems

– Prepares for crises, security risks and natural or man-made disasters

– Contributes to the EU’s role as a global soft power

• Adopts a full, free and open data policy

• Is a tool for economic development and a driver for the digital economy

In situ

I N - S I T U : O V E R V I E W

• In situ data = observation data from ground-, sea-, or air-borne sensors, reference and ancillary data licensed for use in Copernicus

• Use of In situ data:

– Validate & calibrate Copernicus products

– Reliable information services

• Implementation in two tiers:

– Tailored in situ data for each Copernicus service level

– Cross-cutting coordination across services by the EEA

On 24 August 2014 a large fire broke out in a forest region near Kalabaka, district of Thessalia, central Greece. The map shows burnt areas in orange. It was released as a result of a Copernicus EMS activation after the outbreak of the fire to support the disaster response authorities involved in the

operations.

Copernicus Hackathons

o 20 Copernicus hackathons are organised every year throughout Europe.

o For each hackathon, the Commission finances 85% of your costs, up to EUR 20,000.

o Organisations willing to organise a hackathon (clusters, companies, universities…) can apply throughout the year

https://hackathons.copernicus.eu/

o A Copernicus hackathon is a sprint-like event in which computer programmers and subject-expertscollaborate intensively to develop software based on Copernicus.

Copernicus Incubation Programme

o The Commission finances the incubation of 20 start-ups per year, with 50,000 euros per start-ups.

o Start-ups are incubated in the incubator of their choice.

o The call for start-ups is permanently open (with evaluation every quarter). Start-ups must apply jointly the incubator/accelerator of their choice (based in Europe).

Copernicus Accelerator

o The Copernicus Accelerator is a one-year coaching programme. Each start-up receives a mentor for theduration of the programme.

o Accelerator participants receive business courses online (every month).

o The Copernicus Accelerator has supported more than 100 start-ups since 2016. It give access to thelargest network of geospatial start-ups in Europe.

o Access to the Accelerator:1) Winning a Copernicus Master2) Winning a Copernicus Hackathon3) Applying through an open call
