To be kept in mind:

The focus must be on innovation with a quick path to market

Demonstrated involvement of new customers

Integrate EO data into markets, esp. non-space contexts

Integration of contributors such as Internet of Things (IoT), sensorwebs, UAV and/or other space and non-space data

Engagement with existing and emerging content delivery channels e.g. In-Car Information systems, Health Platforms, Renewable Energy, Insurance

Innovative application environments that e.g. facilitate the handling of EO data in a big data context

Extract additional benefit from Copernicus/EO and other data by using big data analytics

EO Big Data Shift

Effective access to Copernicus data & information is a sinequa non condition.Technical challenges are …• Sheer volume of data and information• Data at higher spatial and temporal resolutions• New Big Data techniques emerging• Bring user to data with embedded processing

capabilities• Need for new approach for data curation and

dissemination• Need for an effective and scalable access system• Need to cover the full data cycle needs

Activities are expected to address the adaptation of bigdata technologies to Copernicus user scenariosActivities to include the development of toolsTake into account needs of non-experts, expert users, SMEinnovative enterprises

Actions

Participation of industry, including SMEs, is encouraged

Space

To be kept in mind:

Copernicus context

A further guidance document will be released by the Commission in the next weeks.

It is important for the projects to focus on solutions and applications that are portable in different big data computing environments (scalable!).

H2020 projects should be forward looking, beyond what exists at the moment in Copernicus dissemination channels.

Projects should provide an added value by addressing big data platforms holding different types of EO data, amongst which Copernicus is a major source.

Space

New tools and applications needed in the context of the exploitation of Copernicus data and information in a big data environment:

Not platform specific

Modular, and scalable

Aiming at new functions

Facilitating third party front office deployment and use

Providing innovative tools for intermediary/end users

…

Demonstrator

Business model service-based rather than software licensing based (open source licensing much favoured to ease deployment on platforms)

Where do we stand?

Member States (Copernicus UF and committee; ESA PB-EO) have been consulted.

The CO2 initiative is integrated in the context of the Copernicus Space Component evolution plan (supported by ESA through EOEP-4 & 5 programmes). Users consultation Workshop organized on March 11, 2016.

Nomination of a CO2 monitoring task force with two interactiveWPs:

• Task A (co-convened by ESA-EC): Focus on the space component - more specifically a CO2 pre-operational mission(1st meeting July 11-12, 2nd meeting October 19-20).

• Task B (convened by EC with some common membership of Task force A): Address issues related to ground-based infrastructure –an end-to end operational emission monitoring system (1st meeting in November).

Fossil CO2 Emissions

Space

Challenge for a European CO2 capacity

Achieve a requirement-driven integration of existing remote-sensing, in situ and modelling capabilities for an end-to-end system design

Optimise the necessary in-situ design in terms of measurements needed, by when and on what scale, to support the satellite retrievals (i.e., the CO2 column integrated content) as well as the relative contribution from anthropogenic emissions.

Identify existing inverse modelling approaches with their respective pros and cons and the steps needed (i.e. studies) towards an operational system (e.g., particular attention to be given to reconciling –bias removal- ground-based and satellite retrieval estimates)

Dimension the required system to achieve an operational analysis & forecast system Centre for CO2 ,also with regard to the computing, big data processing and storage/dissemination infrastructure needs.

Define the R&D tasks which need to be followed-up through H2020 in post-2017 calls and/or other suitable funding opportunities.

Competitiveness of enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (COSME)

GRO/SME/16/C/05 - CLUSTER INTERNATIONALISATION PROGRAMME FOR SMEs:

"Strand 3) Supporting preparatory actions for the establishment and shaping of up to two 'European Strategic Cluster Partnerships – Going International' (ESCP-4is) in the Space and Digital sector (use of earth observation data and related applications), specifically for downstream users of earth observation data in the context of Copernicus – the EU's Earth Observation and Monitoring programme. The objective will be to promote access to international markets for European clusters and networks involved in the development and provision of earth observation products and services (e.g. geo-information services and ICT applications supporting societal goals in a broad range of areas such as management of natural resources, precision agriculture or smart cities).

It will be open in January 2017:
