Downstream Research Projects

Develop Products and Services for the Monitoring of the Environment using GMES (Global Monitoring of the Environment and Security) components

Funded through the Space Research Theme of FP7: EU to stimulate and support the implementation of value added service

Tailored for specific applications of 6 service domains:Atmosphere, Land, Marine, Emergency, Climate Change and Security

FP7 GMES

Positioned between the multi-purpose core services and a specific group of user clients

Making an extended use of adequate products made available by the core services.

Use previous research, collaborate with other research projects.

Goal of reaching self-sustainabilityorExpected to contribute to the integration of future lines into (pre)operational service chains of the GMES services.

SERVICES

Common characteristics

Use of EO data and information: - EO Remote sensing and in situ; historical, archives, recent, on-order, rush mode - Use of Core services products- Use of existing local information

Expected impact to establish innovative services by improving current monitoring techniques:

new tools, new algorithms, new processes, new scientific methodologies, risk indicators, Standardised & validated products

Sustainability required: continuity of service as a priority, close link between users and services with demonstration of services & integration into current users practices + training for user uptake

Benefits

Tailored for different scales: local, national, regional needs

Link to EU legislation: reporting obligations, preparednesse.g. habitat directive, bird directiveFlood directive, water …

Building on INSPIRE directive for interoperability of Member States data informationSupporting EEA's efforts to monitor the environment

Encouraged to support and link to international initiatives supported by the EU: GEO, UNFCCC's REDD+, ..

Conclusions

• - Contact the projects: if your interest lies in one of the domains covered there is probably a project with which you would be interested to cooperate.

• - Presentation by Mr Schulte-Braucks on GMES on Thursday 22 November @13.20 pm will provide valuable info on the GMES programme and its contribution to the GEOSS.

• - Projects are developing services in the spirit of GEO’s vision; many are already contributing to the GEOSS; their focus and their SME rooting place them well to further support GEO post 2015.
