• Objective: to provide information in relation to different type of disasters in Europe and beyond
• EMS mapping service: to measure the impact and respond to natural
and man-made disasters, on a 24/7/365 basis
Rush mode: immediate response needed,
activation on demand standardized product
Non-rush: prevention, disaster risk analysis, recovery;activation on demand, tailored products on user needs
• EFAS European Flood Awareness System: First operational alert system for floods and hydrological network
Added value: better preparedness and improved disaster and crisis management in Europe with trans-national flood early warning information to EC civil protection and Member State authorities

EU contribution mainly through R&D Budget (FP6,7 …) – annual CALLS, several EU partners
As from 2014 :ESA – Space Segment (ESA + EU budget)EU Operational budget (4,3B€ 2014-2020)Delegation Agreements, Tenders, Service specifications
Horizon 2020 RD&I support for Copernicus:- Continuity in transfer (particularly in 2014)
- Downstream applications & uptake- Service evolution R&D based on op.

• Data policy promotes the access, use and sharing of Copernicus information and data on a full, free and open basis
• One of the main objectives is to support downstream segment and research, technology and innovation communities
• Business, citizens and environment are to benefit from free access to EU satellite data and service information
Data Policy
Science Community is called upon to make good use of the available data, acting as value multipliers
Adopted budget appropriations 2014-2020
Space component 3.394 M€Service & In-situ component 897 M€
• Until end-2013
funding for

GMES / Copernicus Evolution
• Cost per EU inhabitant will be ~€1.07 per year
• Expected cumulative financial benefit by 2030 is ~€30 Bn
- comparable to 0.2% of the EU GDP
• For every €1 spent we get a return of ~€3.2
• An estimated minimum of ~48,000 jobs will be created –
over the period 2015 -2030
• Estimated downstream market potential turnover will be
~€1.8 Bn by 2030
Job & Growth:Cost-benefit analysis
Examples of mechanisms could be:
• Information / Match-making events – intermediateand end users
• Use cases / good practises
• User uptake workshops to identify the needs
• Capacity building
• E.g. Educational and training workshops –train the trainers, eLearning
• Service voucher schemes
• Competitions (e.g. App Camp, …)
User Uptake
A number of non-Space sectors benefits from the programme.
Copernicus can be seen as a driving force creating highly skilled job opportunities and can have indirect effects on the wider economy by 2030.
Copernicus demonstrated that ecological and economical goals can be mutually beneficial; environmental sustainability can promote economic development.

• EO in Horizon 2020 « SPACE »• Foster uptake of space based EO data in
commercial applications, and supporting market introduction of downstream services activities
• To address capability gaps identified by service operators for service evolution
• To maintain the lead in European EO capabilities, research into remote sensing technologies and instruments, and space systems

First Call “Earth Observation” - Copernicus

New ideas for Earth-relevant space applications Bringing EO applications to the market Transition towards Copernicus (Marine & Atmosphere) Climate-change relevant space-based data reprocessing… Observation capacity mapping for climate-change Stimulating wider user of Copernicus Sentinel data Technology developments for commercial imaging

EO 1 2015
EO 1: Bringing EO applications to the market
"Innovation actions (70%)"
10 M€
It is essential that EO products and information generation are taken out of the research environment and products are put into the market. The outcome of these innovation projects should be a commercial service platform, sustained by a production process capable to deliver to the user a product which is validated and accepted as a marketable product.
EO 2 2015
Stimulating wider research use of Copernicus Sentinel data
"Research and innovation actions (100%)"
11 M€
Europe’s investment in the Copernicus Sentinel satellites will provide Europe with an unprecedented source of operational satellite data. Data streams are expected to amount to several terabyte per satellite orbit, thereby delivering unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution and data continuity. To utilise the high scientific potential of the Sentinel data, stable and predictable access methods need to be developed, such as:
Efficient data retrieval from repositories Software for reading/transforming data for
access by scientific users Data fusion (various Sentinels/contributing
missions) Advanced visualisation
techniques
EO 3 2015
Research should be undertaken to review the emerging fractionated observation system concepts. The required technology challenges as regards interfacing, formation flying, communication within the constellation or with ground stations are to be identified. Potential benefits for EO are to be examined.
EO 3: Technology developments for commercial imaging
