Description
GEO's post-2025 strategy envisions a world where Earth intelligence is universally accessible, driving systemic shifts needed to accelerate the achievement of all Sustainable Development Goals and fostering a sustainable future for people and the planet.
EuroGEO is the regional coordination mechanism that aims to consolidate and coordinate activities throughout Europe that contribute to GEO (Group on Earth Observations) initiatives.
Since EuroGEO's inception, the European landscape has significantly changed. Firstly, at EU level, with the implementation of the EU Space Programme, which provides the necessary infrastructure, data, and technological advancements, whilst EuroGEO coordinates and integrates these resources to address global and regional challenges through GEO work programme activities. And secondly, at GEO level, with the adoption of the 'post-2025' GEO work programme, which shifts from "Earth observation" to "Earth Intelligence" and from a focus on services to equity, in order to bridge the global information gaps.
Over the past period, Europe successfully addressed the challenge of open data, open knowledge, open science, and interoperability. The new challenge for the downstream EO community is to bridge the "grand distance" between data and intelligence, i.e., from Research and Innovation to Operations and the Market.
Embedding the notion of Earth Intelligence implies managing change in daily practices of the downstream Earth Observation sector1. This calls for a proactive and operational initiative capable of conducting change management on a large scale, engaging the EO downstream value chain, and in particular, the industry. Building on the ongoing efforts of Copernicus and National initiatives and bringing its direct community engagement through Action Groups, EuroGEO can act as a catalyst for change.
