Role of ROSA in regional development of GEO

activities

• Due to its geographic position Romania can play an important role in GEO

• ROSA is the national administrator of Aerospatial, Security, CEEX – Aeronautics and Space, CEEX – Space and Security R&D programs – more than 50 projects covering GEO related themes (e.g. 25 in Aerospatial program) and has an excellent view on GMES community

• Involvement in various European and international R&D projects

• Initiative taken in 2005 when many proposals have been submitted to CEEX (2005 and 2006) – success rate > 90% - LUCIUS and INSPAM – contracts signed in October 2005


Our vision on GMES - GEO

• Integration of space and in-situ observations for enabling user driven / defined services offering reliable and timely information on security and environment in an operational way to support policy making

• Expertise and applied research work is needed to exploit existing results and mature means for enabling better exploitation EO capacity to serve user needs

• Data and services display, access and use rights is an important issue addressed at European level by INSPIRE

• Raise public awarness on GMES - GEO importance and potential impact


The two projects

• 3 years execution schemes, CEEX complex projects, • Budget cca 850 000 EUR for the two projects, • ROSA – main contractor and consortium leaderLUCIUS: main objective of the project is to exploit experience

acquired by consortium members and build a network providing the scientific and technological regional support for the development of GMES applications through institutional development and capacity building in geospatial data (space and in-situ) acquisition, processing and management

INSPAM: main objective of the project is to initiate and develop an interoperable framework able to contribute to establishing a national spatial data infrastructure following the European initiatives in this domain (GMES, INSPIRE, ORCHESTRA etc.)


Consortium members

• Romanian Space Agency (ROSA) – consortium leader

• Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi (UAICI)

• Danube Delta National R&D Institute (INCDD)

• National Authority for Meteorology (ANM)

• Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Romanian Academy (ICIA)

• Romanian Agency for Standardization (ASRO)

SDI architecture – thematic networks


Related activities

• INSPIRE workgroup - OM 4147 / May 23, 2005• ROSA – coordination role• Status: sub-groups defined

• Reference data and metadata• Geospatial data models and specifications• Data services and communication architectures• Data and services sharing • Implementation and monitoring

• Leading institutions have been assigned to form-up the groups

• INSPAM will be the main information source and main tool for the workgroup allowing test and validation of decisions made inside the group


Related activities – PECS initiatives

GSE Land Information Services- aiming to deliver geo-information services over large areas and for a wide spectrum of land applications.- They are based on general geo-information on Land Cover and Vegetation created from Earth Observation data which is harmonised and standardised allowing cross-border applications and comparisons


Related activities – PECS iniatives

RISK-EOS Flood and Fire Risk Information Servicesdeliver existing Assets Mapping, Flash Flood Early Warning, Flood Risk Analysis and Flood Rapid Mapping services fully compliant with the RISK-EOS ones
