Welcome to EuroGEO Workshop 2024
EuroGEO is the regional coordination mechanism that aims to consolidate and coordinate activities throughout Europe that contribute to GEO (Group on Earth Observations) initiatives.
Since EuroGEO’s inception, the European landscape has significantly changed. Firstly, at EU level, with the implementation of the EU Space Programme, which provides the necessary infrastructure, data, and technological advancements, whilst EuroGEO coordinates and integrates these resources to address global and regional challenges through GEO work programme activities. And secondly, at GEO level, with the adoption of the ‘post-2025’ GEO work programme, which shifts from “Earth observation” to “Earth Intelligence” and from a focus on services to equity, in order to bridge the global information gaps.
At this critical juncture, this year’s EuroGEO workshop, which will take place in Krakow from 8 to 10 October, therefore aims to invite and mobilise the EO community to reposition EuroGEO in the light of both the evolving European landscape and GEO strategy.
This ‘new EuroGEO era’ will strive to ‘Coordinate, Combine, Cooperate’ the national and European EO ecosystems, across different sectors and domains, to create relevant and impactful contributions to GEO, and harness the benefits of international cooperation for the benefit of the European EO sector.
The agenda is structured in three days in order to organise the forum on a variable geometry and maximise participant’s engagement in each session. Sessions are interactive by design, with the help of facilitators, engaging panel discussions and the audience with limited recourse to presentations; but instead leaving time for peer-to-peer exchanges and engagement with experts.
