Copernicus Services General Assemblies – HaDEA-managed projects take the stage

Copernicus is the European Union's Earth observation programme and a true European success story in space. It offers advanced free-of-charge information services that draw from satellite and in-situ (non-space) data. Across six thematic streams, the Copernicus services transform this data into value-added information for its rapidly growing user community.

Organised by the Copernicus services, the General Assemblies bring together researchers, data providers, end users and policy makers to discuss the services’ latest features, use cases and future developments.

HaDEA is funding space research projects that enable the evolution of the Copernicus services in line with emerging user requirements, EU policy needs, and state-of-the-art methodologies.

Background

Under Horizon Europe Cluster 4 – Space, HaDEA is funding projects that prepare future evolutions of the EU Space Programme components, including Copernicus. These efforts build on the extensive portfolio of EU-funded research projects supporting the Copernicus services since the 7^th Framework Programme (FP7).

Copernicus is the Earth observation component of the EU Space Programme, dedicated to monitoring our planet and its environment. As a leading provider of Earth observation data, it provides vast amounts of global data from satellites (including the Sentinels), as well as from ground-based, airborne, and seaborne measurement systems.
