What we do
The Knowledge Centre on Earth Observation helps EU policymakers to fully exploit the growing amount of EO data, products and applications by
- assessing needs of EU policies and translating these into technical requirements for EO products and services
- analysing research needs and priorities for innovating EU Earth Observation programmes
- bringing together an active community of scientists, policymakers and specialists
Brief me
The policy uptake of products and information from Copernicus, the Earth Observation programme of the EU, can be maximised by providing
- in depth assessments of needs/priorities for Copernicus products and services in support of EU policies and establishing best practices to translate policy needs into concrete requirements for products and services
- a continuous scanning of research needs and priorities and raising awareness on next generation EO science and associated technologies to enhance the exploitation on Copernicus throughout the policy cycle
- opportunities for dialogue among policymakers, scientists and technical implementing entities associated with Copernicus and Earth Observation in general, bridging policy and scientific perspectives
