Brief me

  • The continuous monitoring of priorities for R&I in Earth Observation is a fundamental aspect of KCEO. 

  • KCEO provides the opportunity to bring together the outcomes of research projects and show how they can support policymaking. 

  • By ensuring responsiveness to new needs, the KCEO will also monitor the availability of new technology and methods for sensing, data-processing and analysis 

  • KCEO will help identify the remaining knowledge gaps and prioritize the directions research should take to offer responses facilitating the green and digital transition of our societies. 

  • We have many opportunities for investing in R&I on Earth Observation throughout the European Commission programmes (Horizon Europe, Copernicus Evolution, DG CNECT etc.). The KCEO will assist in the identification and prioritisation of R&I coherently across programmes. 

  • Better characterising the needs and requirements collected via the KCEO will contribute co-designing a results-oriented research programme in the next iterations.
