Development of demonstrators using the information from Copernicus, the European Earth observation programme, and signals from Galileo and EGNOS, the European GNSS

105/G/ENT/CIP/13/C/N03C03

The overall purpose of this call is to support a number of concrete and operational activities with special emphasis on promoting the further use of data and information from Earth monitoring and satellite navigation for which Europe is investing massively through the Copernicus, EGNOS and Galileo programmes.

The main objective of the call for proposals is to develop large-scale demonstrators of Copernicus and the European GNSS-based services. This action aims to implement innovative services on a large scale based on Copernicus and the European GNSS to address specific societal challenges or to facilitate the emergence of new industries in a given región or metropolitan area.

The call shall be implemented in close coordination and cooperation with the on-going actions from European Mobile and Mobility Industries Alliance. The Alliance may contribute in disseminating and sharing, as widely as possible, the experience gained by the actions supported through this call for proposals. Coordination and cooperation with actions for the development of applications (where data is generated by Copernicus) and the European GNSS signals is also strongly encouraged.
