DORIS_Net stands for „Downstream Observatory organised by Regions active In Space – Network“

> FP7 3rd Space Call, Coordination Action, “Fostering downstream activities and links with regions”

> Two projects selected, communicating under > Budget 1M€ (EU contribution), Start 01.02.2011 , duration: 24 months

The Call objectives closely match with the NEREUS political statutesDORIS_Net is the first project fully mobilised on the NEREUS platform,

and was promoted “NEREUS flagship project”

Europe has put significant efforts into the development of the GMES infrastructure and applications on a European level in space based technology

However, in order to make GMES and Galileo a full success on an operational level, it is essential that regional actors are more involved in the implementation of space based services to maximize the benefits from these innovative tools which can have significant impact on the economy, environment and the quality of life of the citizens

This process should be intra-regional as well as inter-regional

The importance of the regional dimension of GMES

DORIS_Net is a bottom-up approach lead by European regions, facilitating an exchange of best practices and increasing awareness in

order to help making GMES operational

1. Addressing/ removing language barriers > Develop and promote the use of language independent tools and technologies in

combination to geographical visualisation approaches (i.e. semantic services, web mapping)

2. Performing targeted demonstrations with dedicated user involvement > Space based services and their benefits shall be demonstrated in specific support

actions (“regional demonstration test beds”) and a structured access to these services must be established for regional users (“network of certified dissemination and transfer centers”)

3. Defining and implementing a governance model at regional level > Facilitating the uptake and connection to the European GMES Service segment at

regional level by using a bottom-up approach requires a governance structure suitable to both regional and compatible with European governance

Main challenges with respect to sustainability
