From EO4GEO to SPACE4GEO: A network to empower space data users
EO4GEO was an Erasmus+ Sector Skills Alliance gathering 25 partners and 50 associates from 22 countries. From January 2018 to June 2022, EO4GEO developed a set of tools based on a shared ontology, a training and education offer and a sector skills strategy aimed to bridge the skills gap between the supply and demand of education and training in the space geoinformation sectors.
Leveraging on the results of EO4GEO and the Alliance of its members and with the support of the European Commission, the SPACE4GEO Alliance, the large-scale Skills Partnership for the space downstream and geoinformation sector dedicated to space data, services and applications, has been launched by DG EMPL and DG DEFIS on 25th April 2023.
