GEO-CRADLE - Coordinating and integRating state-of-the-art Earth Observation Activities in the regions of North Africa, Middle East, and Balkans and Developing Links with GEO related initiatives towards GEOSS
Duration: 34 months
Funding: European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme,
Total Budget: 3.030.800€
Description: GEO-CRADLE is a Coordination and Support Action established for providing support to the Intergovernmental Organization GEO (Group on Earth Observations) and the Program for Global Monitoring for the Environment and Security Copernicus. GEO-CRADLE is also a synergetic action that establishes a network of stakeholders across the entire value added chain in Earth Observation (research, service providers, data providers, decision makers) and builds on platforms for the integration and dissemination of EO data and know-
(i) support the effective integration of existing EO capacities (space/air-borne/in-situ monitoring networks, modelling and data exploitation skills, and past project experience),
(ii) provide the interface for the engagement of the complete ecosystem of EO stakeholders (scientists, service/data providers, end-users, governmental orgs, and decision makers)
(iii) promote the concrete uptake of EO services and data in response to regional needs, relevant to the thematic priorities of the Call (adaptation to climate change, improved food security, access to raw materials and energy), and (iv) contribute to the improved implementation of and participation in GEO, GEOSS, and Copernicus in the region.
e-shape – EuroGEOSS Showcases: Applications Powered by Europe
Co-PI: V. Amiridis
Start date: 01/05/2019
Duration: 48 months
Funding: European Union’s Horizon 2020, H2020-EU.3.5.5., Project Number: 820852
Total Budget: 15.688.319,10 € IAASARS Budget: 1.755.850 €
Description: Europe’s contribution to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) will receive a big boost from the e-shape project. It is the largest coordinated effort to highlight operational services in the field of Earth observation research in Europe. The project aims to improve user uptake of Earth Observation data in the region. It will develop operational EO services and demonstrate the benefits of the EO pilots at national and international scale, across vertical markets (private and public), and amongst key user communities. Through the coordinated downstream exploitation of EO data and existing EO resources, they will run 27 cloud-based pilot applications under 7 thematic areas to address societal challenges, foster entrepreneurship, and support sustainable development.
