Objective
The EuroGEOSec project (led by ARMINES) brings together a European consortium built from the core group of the team involved in the H2020 e-shape (EuroGEO Showcases: Applications powered by Europe) project and will collaborate with the Joint Research Centre Knowledge Center on Earth Observation (JRC-KCEO) to support the EuroGEO vision and to prepare the transition of the EuroGEO initiative into a sustainable endeavour, by setting-up a EuroGEO secretariat.
The overarching goal of the EuroGEOSec project is to support the coordination of the EuroGEO initiative and develop a sustainability plan guiding its long-term operation. This will be achieved by establishing the EuroGEO Secretariat with the mission to (i) strengthen GEO-related coordination mechanisms at European and national levels, (ii) support increased innovation, space application development and reinforcement of the European space data ecosystem concept; (iii) foster international cooperation to help stimulate the market and promote European technology and services; (iv) contribute to the European Green Deal objectives and the European strategy for data (EU Data Spaces) by further deploying and exploiting the use of EO towards a strengthened Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS).
The project delivers the definition, set-up, operation and ramp-up of the EuroGEO Secretariat serving the EuroGEO initiative and its ecosystem of actors, and developing support services and a sustainability strategy that will inform the long-term operation of the EuroGEO initiative.
