  1. I can't define an elephant but I'll know when I meet one.....

  2. DRIVERS... Expectations Environmental pressures New approaches to regulation Global commitments and issues Technologies RESPONSES….. SEIS framework Access (Aarhus…) Streamlining (WISE...) Organisation (Group of 4) Prioritisation (6EAP) New tools (GMES…) GMES - why

  3. The vision User-driven, global monitoring capacity, integrating • Space observations • Non-space observations • Analysis To deliver - Services to institutions, businesses and citizens Andpromote - Innovation and economic development - Autonomous EU capacity The reality numerous disconnected research/demonstration activities

  4. GMES soil sealing

  5. SpaceInfrastructure Operators In Situ Infrastructure Operators INFRASTRUCTURES High Capacity End Users Users XXX… Atmosphere Emergency Marine Land CORESERVICES GMES Core Services Service Provider GMES Downstream Services Service Provider DOWNSTREAM SERVICES An organising framework

  6. GMESChallenges • From research to operational; searching for the business model • Identifying, prioritising and realising user needs for core services and downstream provision • Observation continuity and coordination, and new capacities (eg NRT) • Integrating the non-space sector (huge member state resource) • Data policy • Governance • Finance • Communicating vision and detail • The wider context • International collaboration

  7. GMES – a process of evolution Specialist products and new infrastructure Using what exists Research-based management by existing institutions Dedicated governance and finance

  8. 2011- 13 1998-2008 2008/9 Existing space Missions ESA coordination Dedicated Missions Coordination by EEA Non-space data uncoordinated Research funding And management FP5/6, GSE Limited operational funding Dedicated funding and management Provider-driven unsustainable services FP7 preoperational Sustainable user-driven services Lille demonstrators

  9. GMES services 2008/9 (fast tracks/pilots) • Emergency Response: rapid mapping • Land Monitoring: European land cover & urban spots • Marine Monitoring: sea state & ecosystem characteristics over global ocean & European regional seas • Atmosphere: air quality, climate forcing, ozone/UV Each to be funded by FP7; still under negotiation Plans for service evolution emerging Next steps – downstream services; links with comms technologies

  10. GMES resource (some of it) Development and validation of pre-operational services (~30%) Support to the coordinated provision of data (~10%) Development of dedicated space infrastructures for GMES (~45%) Total 1.2 beuro 2008-2013; so the bulk of resource will remain research – based

  11. EEA Role – intensifying cooperation • How to exploit GMES as it develops • Buy – in and consultation with stakeholders • Leading role in service development and demonstrators • Key new job • Coordinating in–situ component of emerging services • Within own networks • With partner bodies

  12. SEIS: connected systems From centralised systems for reporting towards systems based on access, sharing and interoperability 31 Member Countries 300 National agencies 900 Experts www.eionet.eu.int

  13. International collaboration • GEO/GEOSS • GEO SBA’s map to GMES core • GMES as main European GEOSS contribution – but not yet committed • EU engagement in GEOSS activities • “European approach” – work in progress • GMES will need access to non-european data • GMES and Africa action plan by end - 2008

  14. Points for reflection • Building the business model • Do we focus too much on the observation infrastructure • Who are the players – public/private; providers/users • Where are the resources • How to promote user/provider dialogue • What are the killer applications • Weaving the golden thread • Needs – application identification – delivery • Fit with the SEIS vision • Helping policy-makers to understand • Collaboration tools • Policies for data exchange • Infrastructure for data exchange • Promoting interoperability • Sensor webs

  15. Gmes applications – documenting and managing diversity • Core service • How to identify and meet user needs (GNU) • Facilitate data flows from disparate sources – linking with SEIS • Enable integration of different knowledge types (like the proposed project) – look for a core service application • Widen the accessibility of core services • Populating the black box • Build in to fast tracks/pilots • Downstream services • Supporting user needs • Near real time • Implications for indicators

  16. GEOSS relevance • Applications to support developing country involvement • Applications to source data collected elsewhere • Shared work on data to decision support
