AI4Copernicus project to enable AI & Εarth Οbservation. Innovation through a series of open calls and the integration of AI4EU with DIAS platforms
Delivering 12 TB of space data per day, Copernicus is the world’s largest space data provider. At the same time, Artificial Intelligence 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 break new ground. The project will organise and fund four open calls for SMEs, realising eight small-scale experiments and nine larger-scale use-cases. Through its technological contribution and open-calls, AI4Copernicus will deepen the integration of AI4EU with multiple DIAS platforms. At the same time, it will enrich the European arsenal with sustainable, cutting edge applications in domains of high economic and societal impact, such as in Agriculture, Energy, Environment and Security. AI4Copernicus proposes to reinforce and optimise the AI4EU platform service offering with AI4Copernicus datasets, tools and services relevant to Copernicus data to facilitate the use and uptake of the platform resources in domains of high economic and societal impact, such as in Agriculture, Health, Energy and Security. A series of 4 open calls will be implemented, leading to 8 small-scale experiments (smaller, single-beneficiary experimental projects targeting technology-advanced users) and 9 use-cases (larger-budget projects, involving at least one non-technology user). The open calls will necessitate the utilisation of DIAS platforms, Copernicus data, the AI4EU platform and the services and resources that will be provided by the AI4Copernicus project.
