Registration for the European Earth Observation Ecosystem 2040+ workshop is now open

The objectives of the European Earth Observation Ecosystem 2040+ workshop are to discuss:

• What should our European Earth Observation Ecosystem look like in 2040+?
• Which future operational or scientific users’ needs will drive the definition of future system-of-systems?
• How do commercial Earth Observation data providers fit into the overall picture?
• How do we verify the performance of the system? 

The European Earth Observation Ecosystem 2040+ is a proposed cross-cutting vision for the future of Space Earth Observation in Europe. The ecosystem is considered from a holistic system-of-systems perspective leveraging cross system/mission synergies instead of individual EO missions.

With this in mind, ESA is inviting the community to actively participate in this workshop to establish a “European Blueprint for Earth Observation” that can guide future preparation for Europe in Space. The Blueprint is designed to identify and group activities within all EO programmes (science, commercial and operational nature), to identify gaps in the system against the future needs for scientific research and development, innovative new EO mission ideas and technologies, and mission data exploitation with applications that address new Earth system science and deliver societal benefits.
