EOcafe: Enabling Artificial Intelligence & Earth Observation Ιnnovation – AI4Copernicus
- April 8, 2021
- Posted by: EARSC
- Categories: EOcafe, European EO Industry
Delivering 12 TB of space data per day, Copernicus is the world’s largest space data provider. This high volume presents a serious challenge to analysts. At the same time, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming an indispensable and ubiquitous tool for growth and innovation. In this context, the EU-funded AI4Copernicus project will bridge the EU AI on-demand platform AI4EU with Copernicus Data and Information Access Services (DIAS) platforms to allow innovative players to break new ground. The project will organise, fund and support four open calls for SMEs, facilitating the development of novel, useful and ethical-by-design[1] artificial intelligence innovations (8 small-scale experiments and 9 larger-scale use-cases).

Geoff’s blog: The Reality of EO in the gaming world?
- March 29, 2021
- Posted by: EARSC
- Categories: European EO Industry, Geoff's Blog
Playing games is a an extremely old pastime but digital gaming – which is what is generally understood by the term – is new. Whilst gaming is big business, the imaginary world of games may not seem the obvious place to take real images of the Earth. But for a few companies it is and there is some very interesting business going on to bring these two worlds together.
One way, the most obvious (perhaps) is to use EO images as a backdrop for the game. This is the case with the Microsoft Flight Simulator which we understand is now using Sentinel-2 data to provide the terrain over which the aircraft is flying.

Survey on the Total Employment in Europe in the EO Services Sector
- March 3, 2021
- Posted by: EARSC
- Categories: EARSC News, European EO Industry
Each year, EARSC publishes a report looking at the companies in the EO services sector including the number of employees working within the sector. This represents only a part of the total employment as there is a strong resource in public sector agencies. Hence, we were challenged to put a figure to the total employment in all categories of employer both public and private, commercial and academic. Thus, the EARSC EO sector employment survey is the first report providing an estimate of the total number of Earth Observation (EO) employees throughout Europe, including both the public and private sector. Building upon two previous EARSC surveys, this study provides a more detailed picture of the employment in the Earth Observation field.
