Generating Earth iNtelligence for Environmental and Sectoral Impact and Sustainability

Objective

E-genesis operationalises Earth Intelligence by transforming Earth Observation, Artificial Intelligence and emerging digital technologies into actionable insights that support EU policy implementation and strategic decision-making. It develops, scales, and demonstrates integrated solutions that strengthen the resilience of ecosystems, biodiversity, water resources, urban systems, and energy sectors, while also contributing to public health and climate adaptation. These services address climate and anthropogenic anomalies through spatially detailed, temporally updated, and territorially scalable intelligence, fully aligned with the strategic objectives of GEO, EuroGEO, Copernicus, and EC KCEO.
E-genesis evolves through a phased approach beginning with a co-design process that actively engages stakeholders from Entrusted Entities, the Copernicus User Forum, EuroGEO Action Groups, KCEO, and private sector. This ensures that the services are user-driven, policy-relevant, and designed for real-world uptake. Subsequent phases deliver prototyping, validation, and operational deployment, while systematic societal benefit assessments ensure measurable impact. Methodologically, e-genesis leverages Copernicus Core Services, European Data Spaces, ESFRIs, and federated cloud infrastructures, combined with modular AI/GenAI pipelines to deliver three interconnected pillars: (i) biodiversity and ecosystem resilience, (ii) water resource foresight and sustainability, and (iii) the urban-energy-health nexus under climate extremes.
By aligning with major EU policy frameworks (e.g. Biodiversity Strategy 2030, Water Resilience Strategy, Zero Pollution Action Plan), and supporting EuroGEO and GEO post-2025 priorities, e-genesis accelerates the green and digital transition. Its co-design, training, and exploitation strategies ensure scalability, commercialisation, and long-term sustainability, reinforcing Europe’s leadership in operationalising EO-based Earth Intelligence for societal benefit.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
