• Objective: to provide information in relation to different type of disasters in Europe and beyond

• EMS mapping service: to measure the impact and respond to natural

and man-made disasters, on a 24/7/365 basis

Rush mode: immediate response needed,

activation on demand standardized product

Non-rush: prevention, disaster risk analysis, recovery;activation on demand, tailored products on user needs

• EFAS European Flood Awareness System: First operational alert system for floods and hydrological network

Added value: better preparedness and improved disaster and crisis management in Europe with trans-national flood early warning information to EC civil protection and Member State authorities

• Data policy promotes the access, use and sharing of Copernicus information and data on a full, free and open basis

• One of the main objectives is to support downstream segment and research, technology and innovation communities

• Business, citizens and environment are to benefit from free access to EU satellite data and service information

Data Policy

Science Community is called upon to make good use of the available data, acting as value multipliers

Adopted budget appropriations 2014-2020

GMES / Copernicus Evolution

• Cost per EU inhabitant will be ~€1.07 per year

• Expected cumulative financial benefit by 2030 is ~€30 Bn

- comparable to 0.2% of the EU GDP

• For every €1 spent we get a return of ~€3.2

• An estimated minimum of ~48,000 jobs will be created –

over the period 2015 -2030

• Estimated downstream market potential turnover will be

~€1.8 Bn by 2030

Job & Growth:Cost-benefit analysis

Examples of mechanisms could be:

• Information / Match-making events – intermediateand end users

• Use cases / good practises

• User uptake workshops to identify the needs

• Capacity building

• E.g. Educational and training workshops –train the trainers, eLearning

• Service voucher schemes

• Competitions (e.g. App Camp, …)

User Uptake

A number of non-Space sectors benefits from the programme.

Copernicus can be seen as a driving force creating highly skilled job opportunities and can have indirect effects on the wider economy by 2030.

Copernicus demonstrated that ecological and economical goals can be mutually beneficial; environmental sustainability can promote economic development.

Your creativity is asked for…

• EO in Horizon 2020 « SPACE »• Foster uptake of space based EO data in

commercial applications, and supporting market introduction of downstream services activities

• To address capability gaps identified by service operators for service evolution

• To maintain the lead in European EO capabilities, research into remote sensing technologies and instruments, and space systems

EO 1 2015

EO 1: Bringing EO applications to the market

"Innovation actions (70%)"

10 M€

It is essential that EO products and information generation are taken out of the research environment and products are put into the market. The outcome of these innovation projects should be a commercial service platform, sustained by a production process capable to deliver to the user a product which is validated and accepted as a marketable product.

EO 2 2015

Stimulating wider research use of Copernicus Sentinel data

"Research and innovation actions (100%)"

11 M€

Europe’s investment in the Copernicus Sentinel satellites will provide Europe with an unprecedented source of operational satellite data. Data streams are expected to amount to several terabyte per satellite orbit, thereby delivering unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution and data continuity. To utilise the high scientific potential of the Sentinel data, stable and predictable access methods need to be developed, such as:

Efficient data retrieval from repositories Software for reading/transforming data for

access by scientific users Data fusion (various Sentinels/contributing

missions) Advanced visualisation

techniques

EO 3 2015

Research should be undertaken to review the emerging fractionated observation system concepts. The required technology challenges as regards interfacing, formation flying, communication within the constellation or with ground stations are to be identified. Potential benefits for EO are to be examined.

EO 3: Technology developments for commercial imaging
