EuroGEO Secretariat goal is to develop joint action plans with champion stakeholder communities that complement the current Community of Practice and that can benefit from market knowledge.

To support the EuroGEO expansion and consolidation of the Community of Practice, EuroGEO Secretariat aims to develop different communication messages to navigate the EO industry and policy landscape for groups of interest, policy makers, entrepreneurs, researchers and industry professionals.
This work is currently being carried out in WP3—Maximising Research and Innovation Impacts of the EuroGEOSec project, where the relevant methodologies are being developed and tested through a series of case studies. Ultimately, EuroGEO aims to support practitioners in improving the market readiness of EO R&I and ensuring its fitness for purpose in relation to user needs.
