List of Past Projects

e-shape

e-shape is a unique initiative that brings together decades of public investment in Earth Observation and in cloud capabilities into services for the decision-makers, the citizens, the industry and the researchers.

It allows Europe to position itself as global force in Earth Observation through leveraging Copernicus, making use of existing European capacities and improving user uptake of the data from GEO assets.

FIRE - European Forum for Earth Observation

FIRE, the industry-led Forum for Innovation and Research in European Earth Observation, has started its activities to shape the Research and Innovation Strategy for Earth Observation (EO) solutions in Europe. It will establish a user community across different sectors, starting with agriculture, energy, raw materials, infrastructure, marine, and urban spaces. A dedicated ‘EO Evangelist’ programme will promote the adoption of EO solutions in these sectors. Open dialogue with the demand side will guide the development, delivery and uptake of EO services in Europe.

OCRE

The OCRE project – The Open Clouds for Research Environments project (OCRE), aimed to accelerate cloud adoption in the European research community, by bringing together cloud providers, Earth Observation (EO) organisations and the research and education community, through ready-to-use service agreements and €9.5 million in adoption funding.

Connect EO

The ConnectEO project – “Connecting European Earth Observation to International Markets” was funded by the EASME under the COSME Cluster Go International programme, ConnectEO aims to promote and foster market access between the European Earth Observation SMEs and two target countries: Australia and Chile. The project focused on the use of EO addressing business opportunities and key socioeconomic/environmental challenges in the maritime and agricultural sectors.

CopHub.AC

The vision of the Horizon 2020 project CopHub.AC is to establish a long-term Copernicus hub to consolidate and sustain the Copernicus Academy as a knowledge and innovation platform. To fulfill this several nodes will be created – like a new form of research briefs, knowledge landscape, outreach and sustainability.

It will focus and link ongoing R&D activities in Copernicus-relevant academic fields and sustain the innovation process from academia to business on a high scientific and technical level. We have a clear commitment to a full thematic and geographic coverage for a Europe-wide boost in demand-driven uptake of space technology and geospatial information.

PARSEC

PARSEC was a business accelerator supporting the creation of new Earth Observation (EO) based products and services. The accelerator targets SMEs, start-ups, entrepreneurs and researchers who want to have an impact on the emerging Food, Energy and Environment sectors. With the support of PARSEC, their ideas will be developed into solutions fuelled by the benefits of EO.

The PARSEC Accelerator is funded by the “Horizon 2020” Research and Innovation programme of the European Union.

GEO-Cradle

The GEO-Cradle project looked into EO Activities in the regions of North Africa, Middle East and Balkans and developing links with GEO. Within this project, EARSC is notably working on developing a methodology for the assessment and monitoring of EO maturity at national level. The aim of this approach is to establish an analytical tool that allows quantitative measurement of the current EO capabilities of a given country and their evolution over time.

IDEEO

IDEEO was funded under the COSME Cluster GO International action and will run over fifteen months from the 1st of January 2018. The consortium is coordinated by EARSC and composed of 2 senatorial clusters Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique (France) and Cluster Lucano di Bioeconomia (Italy). The NEREUS network was also involved as a dissemination partner.

The overarching objective of the IDEEO project is the creation of a new European partnership which will promote internationally the use of European Earth Observation capability in different sectors such as marine, agriculture, energy etc.

The work that IDEEO has achieved will be continued by the ConnectEO project in 2019. More information about the project here.
