Earth Observation and GEOSS in Horizon 2020 Copernicus for Raw Material Workshop 5 th September 2016 Gilles OLLIER Head of Sector -Earth observation Directorate Environment Unit I.4 Climate Actions and Earth Observation Directorate General Research & EUROPEAN COMMISSION Gilles.Ollier@ec.europa.eu Research and
a future wherein decisions and actions for the benefit of humankind are informed by coordinated, comprehensive and sustained Earth observations and information. HORIZON 2020 Research and
GEO Ministerial Summit in Mexico City (11/11/2015) "Over the next few decades the international community will have to make many tough decisions. More importantly, we'll have to work together to solve global problems like climate change, hunger and migration." Carlos MOEDAS European Commissioner for Research, Science and "Insufficient or incomplete observing systems will only hold us back and lead to high environmental, economic and social costs in the long term."

What GEO does: To accomplish this mission, GEO works to (i) promote broad and open sharing of Earth observation data globally, (ii) coordinate strategies and investments in observing capabilities; (iii) develop an information architecture to enable sharing of data and information, (iv) and develop new integrative initiatives to deliver services tailored to specific end-user needs, creating and fostering the connection between data providers and users. 7
GEO Societal Benefit Areas "The European Union, through its Horizon 2020 and Copernicus programmes will continue to be a driving force to help GEOSS reach its full maturity a GEOSS which is designed for and accessible by all Policy contributors and all Research users." and
Current Description GEO will advocate the value of Earth observations, engage communities and deliver data and information in support of Energy and Mineral Resources Management by enhancing the discovery, development and sustainable production of mineral and renewable energy resources; in order to facilitate substantial increases in the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix, through usable, actionable information on resource assessment, monitoring and forecasting of intermittent energy sources, including solar, wind, ocean, hydropower, geo-thermal power and biomass.

Horizon 2020 Societal Challenge 5 Climate action, Environment, Resource Efficiency and Raw Materials" 5.5 Developing comprehensive and sustained global environmental observation and information systems Overall goal: Comprehensive environmental observation and information systems to ensure the delivery of the long-term data and information. Support to policies: to assess and predict the condition and trends of climate, natural resources (including raw materials), biodiversity and ecosystem services, as well as to evaluate low-carbon and climate mitigation and adaptation policies Incentive for business: to stimulate the smart use of strategic resources; to support the development of evidence-based policies; to foster new services; and to develop new opportunities in global markets. Indicative budget for 2014 + 2015: 60 Mio*, 2016 + 2017: 60 Mio* * Including actions in other Societal Challenges 12

SC5-20-2016 European data hub of the GEOSS information system Specific Challenge: Global approach for sustained operation, continuity & interoperability of the GEOSS information system Need also to strengthen the access to EO at regional level To overcome the fragmentation of the European landscape of existing public & private EO data infrastructures To harvest available resources from relevant GEOSS data infrastructures in Europe and in particular from the 14 distributed Copernicus data infrastructures.
NEW! Bringing together and strengthening European EO national and regional R&I programme ERA-PLANET STRAND 1 Smart cities and resilient societies STRAND 2 Resource efficiency & environmental management STRAND 3 Global change and Environmental treaties STRAND 4 Polar areas and natural resources
GEO EXCOM Consultation with EO commercial sector GEO as an enabler to reach potential customers GEO as a platform for innovation continuity from ground to space SMEs (not so much large companies) see GEO as an opportunity to be updated on the global trends regarding Earth observation Companies keen to engage in thematic areas of GEOSS such as agriculture observation through a win-win process In Europe no strong feeling for the concept of Corporate associate not exclude direct interaction between GEO and Commercial sector GEO Industrial forum building on regional contribution would be favoured by the European industry For many companies difficult to be represented directly 16
Possible future DG RTD activities beyond 2018.. European strategy regarding the international dimension of Earth observation and related R&I needs and benefits Targeted investments for boosting the development of a market of Earth observation services based on the exploitation of GEOSS data. Targeted R&I investments in support to the consolidation of the GEOSS portal/gci/dab and of the European hub. Targeted strategic actions in support to the 2 nd phase of GEO. 10-year 17
EU R&I for marketable global Earth observation information, services and products Workshop, Brussels 21-22 September 2016 - Builds on "Engaging the Private Sector in GEO" workshop (September 2014) & Copernicus Data Value Chain workshop (April 2016) - Forward-looking workshop, take stock of new ideas and business models, necessary framework conditions, innovation deals. - Three main themes to be addressed: 1. To characterise the current EO market in Europe and globally and its future trends (new EO services and products); 2. To identify R&I actions in support to the delivery of new EO services and products and definition of appropriate measures 3. To elaborate a mechanism for consulting/involving the European commercial sector towards GEO and Copernicus. 18
