About EO4GEO
An innovative strategy for skills development and capacity building in the EO/GI field
Copernicus, Europe’s ambitious Earth Observation programme, is a huge leap forward in terms of technological progress. Its entry in the stage of operability is enabling the production of a huge wealth of data: With six Copernicus Sentinel satellites in orbit, the Contributing missions and in situ sensors, over 12 TB of Earth Observation (EO) data is available every day. With more Sentinels to come and the launch of 5 DIAS platforms to allow an easier access to Copernicus data, we can expect impacts in terms of innovation, growth and jobs.
Technological progress and globalisation offer tremendous opportunities for innovation, growth and jobs. However, these developments require specific skills for people who are able to drive and support change.
The EO4GEO Consortium
EO4GEO is a Sector Skills Alliance gathering 26 partners from 13 countries from academia, private and public sector active in the education/training and space/geospatial sectors.
The Consortium is supported by a strong group of associated partners (22) mostly consisting of associations or networks active in the same fields, and an Advisory Board of individual experts. This network of networks has been established in view of the Erasmus+ Sector Skills Alliance call and reflects the complex space/geospatial ecosystem.
Many of our partners are Members of the Copernicus Academy Network.
