Progress and Next Steps in User Requirements and Outreach for GEO-4 Tokyo, April 2004

The UR&O committee, co-chaired by Prof. Ezio Bussoletti, convened in Tokyo on April 22-23, 2004, to assess and advance the needs of users in Earth Observation (EO). Key objectives include identifying and prioritizing requirements of major stakeholders, developing an outreach strategy to promote GEOSS benefits, and addressing gaps in user awareness. The meeting reviewed progress since GEO-3, elaborating on socio-economic benefits and user groups, and proposed strategies for improving user involvement. Next steps include continuous gap analysis, user satisfaction monitoring, and collaboration on outreach programs.
