A network focussed on Earth observation and GMES applications and opportunities among regional participants, (industry, regional authorities, academic and research institutes.

Intended purpose “25 Uses”
Provide reference to a representative sample of the GMES market in the regions.
Promote GMES to regional end users.
Inform “policy shakers and movers” about GMES markets applications and opportunities.
Case Studies of current uses of GMES in the Regions.
25 case studies offered from 17 regions.
Strong motivation from the Working group members to identify their regional involvements
in GMES.
Wide diversity of applications have been presented.
Three Different Motivations Have Emerged
Operational projects in support of regional priorities.
-Fire and Flood Risk, -Coast, Land and Water Management
Projects driven by EU directives and programmesMapping-CORINE and GMES Urban AtlasNATURA-biodiversityMaritime SecurityCivil Protection
Applications driven by research priorities.Climate Change-regional impacts.Urban Air Quality – Citizens’ Health.

GMES systems and services from service providers are not always meeting the needs of regional and local administrations and potential end-users.
Regional/local administrations and commercial enterprises, as potential end users, may be unfamiliar with existing EO/GMES data systems and services and their potential for use outside the space sector.
Indicates need for more focussed communications, wider-based dialogue and better training facilities.
Provisional findings.
Emerging Roles for Regional Consortia
Consortia are being constructed around industry (esp. SME’s), academic and regional authority partnerships.
Different modelsDifferent funding arrangements
Policy role: consortia members as advisers to regional authorities on uses of EO/GMES capabilities to deliver regional development strategies.
