| Summary: | In the last decade a significant number of projects and programmes in different domains of Earth Observation and environmental
monitoring have generated a substantial amount of data and knowledge on different aspects related to environmental quality and
sustainability. Big data generated by in-situ or satellite platforms are being collected and archived with a plethora of systems and
instruments making difficult the sharing of data and transfer of knowledge to stakeholders and policy makers to support key
economic and societal sectors. The overarching goal of ERAPLANET is to strengthen the European Research Area in the domain of
Earth Observation in coherence with the European participation in the Group on Earth Observation (GEO) and Copernicus. The
expected impact is to strengthen European leadership within the forthcoming GEO 2015-2025 Work Plan. ERA-PLANET is
designed to reinforce the interface with user communities, whose needs the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS)
intends to address. It will provide more accurate, comprehensive and authoritative information to policy and decision-makers in key
societal benefit areas, such as Smart Cities and Resilient Societies; Resource efficiency and Environmental management; Global
changes and Environmental treaties; Polar areas and Natural resources. ERA-PLANET will provide advanced decision-support tools
and technologies aimed to better monitor our global environment and share the information and knowledge available in the different
domains of Earth Observation. |
