2. EU Research and Innovation in Support of
the Earth Observation Market
Brussels, 21-22 September 2016
The overall objective of this workshop were
• to explore Research and Innovation (R&I) actions
needed for the development of a dynamic Earth
observation (EO) market in Europe in relation to the
Copernicus and GEO initiatives (Group on Earth
Observations).

3. The three main themes of the
workshop
• To characterise the current EO market in Europe and
globally and its future trends (new EO services and
products);
• To identify R&I actions in support to the delivery of new EO
services and products g. within Copernicus and GEO (Group
on Earth Observations), and definition of appropriate
measures to accelerate their uptake by industry;
• To elaborate a mechanism for consulting/involving the
European commercial sector towards GEO and Copernicus
taking into account the dialogue already initiated between
the two programmes.

5. VGI & Citizens’
Observatories Hackathon
• The “VGI & Citizens’ Observatories Hackathon” was
the very first hackathon taking place as part of an
INSPIRE conference. It sustains and develops the
unique European Citizens’ Observatories concept
as a forceful tool in environmental management
and public participation.

6. Cooperating organisation
• Citizens Observatories (Citclops, CITI-SENSE,
WeSenseIt, CobWeb, Omniscientis)
• The EU projects Foodie, SDI4Apps, Open Transport
Net, etc.
04.10.2016 GI 2016

7. Challenge 1
• How might future environmental management and
public participation be improved by re-using
already available data and tools?

8. Challenge 2
• How can the 4 new Citizens’ observatories as well
as next generations of observatories re-use and
tailor the tools developed in the 5 first Citizens’
Observatories (in particular the soon ending CITI-
SENSE, WeSenseIt and CobWeb projects), and
related projects like SDI4Apps, FOODIE and Open
Transport Net?

9. Challenge 3
• Based on use cases from the 4 new Citizens’
Observatories, how can data from a variety of data
sources be made interoperable and integrated as
information answering concrete environmental
issues, such as maintaining biodiversity, healht,
improve waste re-use, prevent flooding, reduce
noise, ensure dark nights, etc ?
