The METIS project is managed by the European GNSS Supervisory Authority through Euro-MED GNSS I project


Project launched in the frame of Euro-Med GNSS I Programme:

>GNSS Regional Plan (Activity A)

>Training and Awareness (Activity B)

>GNSS Services Demonstration (Activity C)

>GNSS Signal In Space provision

METIS Objective:

Promotion of GNSS services in the MEDA area, paving the way for GNSS services in MEDA

METIS duration:

30 Months (started mid of July 2006)

Project Overview (1/6)

METIS contract


Project Overview (2/6)METIS countries:

Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon,

Morocco, Palestinian Authority,

Syria, Tunisia, Turkey

METIS Team:

>Euro-Med Consortium composed by 5 partners, TPZ (coordinator - I), FDC (F), ESSP (B), AUI (Mo), TAS (F)

>More than 20 subcontractors (mainly MEDA) involved in activity A, B or C

>GEMCO involved as subcontractor for activities B and C


METIS outcomes:

>Contributing to the definition of Euro-Mediterranean policy and actions in favour of the GNSS (EGNOS/GALILEO) services market in MEDA

>Establishing cooperation and shared objectives between EU and MEDA economic actors supporting such a policy

METIS key activities:>Activity A - A Euro-Med “GNSS Regional Plan” preparation (Leader: TPZ)>Activity B - Running a “Training & Awareness” programme (Leader AUI)>Activity C - Implementation of 10 “GNSS Service Demonstrations” (Leader: ESSP)

METIS activities are performed in parallel with the relevant infrastructure preparation for GNSS SIS (Signal In Space) Provision Activity in the region, undertaken by the European Space Agency (ESA)

Project Overview (3/6)


Development of a plan for the GNSS Service implementation:

>In the ten MEDA countries

>For the different user/application domain

>With a 5-10 years long scenario

>From the initial introduction of EGNOS to the further addition of Galileo

>To ease the introduction of GNSS services

GNSS Regional Plan:

>Defines opportunities and assesses policies

>Sets priorities and necessary actions

in favour of a progressive GNSS services market implementation

MEDA actors involvement is a key element for a shared Euro-Med “GNSS Regional Plan”

Links with related initiatives in the region is fundamental

Project Overview (4/6) - “GNSS Regional Plan”


Development of customised training and awareness plans:

>List of MEDA Point of Contacts (PoCs)

>List of media relations (channels for project promotion - MEDA/International)

>Training needs and tools identification

>Training and communication material production

>Launch of dissemination and promotion activities

>Education and training plan implementation

Dissemination tools: Web Site (En., Ar., Fr.), Newsletters, press releases, …

Close cooperation with GEMCO

Supporting Activity A in the Regional Plan preparation (events, PoCs)

Supported by promotion & training within Activity C

METIS Training & Awareness is a key element for MEDA actors involvement

Project Overview (5/6) - “Training & Awareness”


Project Overview (6/6) - “GNSS Service Demonstration” Enabling “GNSS Service Demonstration” in the regions

Supporting Activity A in the Regional Plan preparation, as straightforward and practical way to:

>Improve co-operations with actors already initiated/facilitating establishment of new ones

>Ensure involvement of regional and local actors in METIS

Supporting Activity B for training material and PoC list population

MEDA actors participate and validate METIS service demonstrations, through direct involvement in the demonstrations and promotion events


METIS Points of Contacts (1/3)Key factor towards METIS establishment of common interests and shared objectives for a GNSS Mediterranean policy:

>Inputs/Feedbacks

>Validation/Guidelines

>Promotion

A “live” METIS PoC list created and populated with “selected” actors from the ten MEDA countries, interested in the development of GNSS services and diffusion of GNSS knowledge:

>National Coordinators of Transport GNSS programmes

>Institutions and Local Authorities

>Users from different application sectors

>Technological companies (digital maps producers, devices and Information Technology developers)

>Service Providers

>Universities and research institutes


METIS Points of Contacts (2/3)

METIS PoCs today: more than 200 persons, periodically informed on the project achievements via the METIS Newsletter and invited to participate to the METIS events


Activities inter-relation & METIS PoCs involvement/contribution:

METIS Activity A performs the necessary task for the elaboration of the MEDA GNSS Regional Plan

Its outputs are promoted and disseminated through METIS Activity B awareness

Its work takes as input:

>The results from GNSS service case studies implementation and validation in different application domains and use scenarios, carried out in Activity C demonstrations

>MEDA actors inputs and feedbacks gathered through interviews, dedicated forums and workshops, to ensure the GNSS Regional Plan is defined upon a shared Euro-Med strategy and policy for the GNSS service market

METIS Points of Contacts (3/3)


METIS Demonstrations (1/2)

Implementation of GNSS Service Demonstrations

Setting up and execution of 10 demonstrations, covering 9 MEDA countries and different application domains

>4 “Wide-Area Demo” for sub-regional applications

>6 “Local-Area Demo” for national applications

METIS GNSS Service demonstration objectives:

>Demonstrate GNSS benefits in real user case / operative scenarios

>Validate EGNOS in various application domains vs. MEDA regional needs

>Cover all MEDA region Countries

>Maximise the involvement of key local actors in GNSS service pilots

>Provide tools for the local exploitation and promotion of GNSS capabilities

A review of the “user needs” gathered from MEDA actors involved in demos will be done through questionnaire/interviews, following test/practical use of GNSS services in the different application domains
