The GMES (Global Monitoring for
Environment and Security) programme, is a joint initiative of the
European Commission and the European Space Agency. It aims at providing
essential information for policy- and decision-makers and for European
citizens, based on operational, integrated Space Earth Observations and
in-situ data. The possible applications are numerous: land, ocean and
atmosphere use and change monitoring, risk management and early
warning, climate and weather forecast, to name just a few. GMES is now
in the implementation phase and it should deliver its first operational
Service Elements in 2008.

The New Member States were already
involved in the programme before their accession to the EU, but a gap
remains when compared to the readiness of the EU-15. The capacity of
those countries, in applying Earth Observation is substantial; their
full involvement in the programme would be beneficial for both the NMS
and GMES. The Eurisy Conference aims at being a major step in reaching
this goal.

To close the conference, a series of round
table will be organised in collaboration with ESPI (European Space
Policy Institute). These round tables will serve as a preparation to
the GRAZ Conference, organised within the framework of the Austrian EU
Presidency. These round table will address the issue of the GMES market
in Europe and its regions, and in particular the role of public
entities.
