The Space/Geospatial Sector Skills Alliance
Towards an innovative strategy for skills development and capacity building in the space geo-information sector supporting Copernicus User Uptake
The EO4GEO project
- Duration: 4 years from January the 1st, 2018
- Budget: 3,87 million €
- Partnership: 25 Partners + 30+ Associated Partners (from 16 EU Countries) from
Academia, Companies and networks
- Coordinators: GISIG (General), KU Leuven (Scientific & Technological), PLUS
(Education & Training), Climate-KIC (Exploitation)
The VISION
To foster the growth of the European Earth Observation / Geographic Information (EO/GI) sector ensuring a workforce with the right skills, in the right place, at the right time.
The MISSION
To ensure the strategic cooperation among stakeholders on skills development in the EO/GI sector.
EO4GEO IS MUCH MORE
- A series of pre-defined curiculla in support of Copernicus
- A portfolio of training modules directly usable in the context of Copernicus and
other relevant prograns
- A series of training actions (webinars, academic courses, etc.) in the three
sub-sectors - integrated applications, smart cities and climate change
- A mobility program to promote internships and on-the-job training
- A Long-term Action plan to sustain the proposed solutions
Learning outcomes
- Recognize the basic atmospheric pollutants and their impact on climate and health
- Demonstrate knowledge of the natural processes involved in gas and particulate pollutants
- Apply this cognitive knowledge to explain state-of-the-art problems
- Process environmental information for the estimation of air pollution from individual
sources
- Know computational tools and databases to record / visualize air pollution
