• Discussions at COM and ESA (Copernicus
Committee, IGS Task Force, PB-EO) in 2015/2016
• EU Space Strategy Communication, ESA
Ministerial Council, EUMETSAT Council
• Consultation with industry (e.g. Value Chain
Workshop in April 2016, Brussels; Workshop on
EO exploitation Platforms October 2016,
ESRIN)…

Dual approach :
• Strengthening Copernicus Distribution Services for
search, view, download
• Setting up of Data Access and Information
Services (DIAS)
– Access to all Copernicus data and information
virtually collocated with computing resources
– Allowing Big Data analytics without the need to
download the data and information
– Allowing data fusion with non-EO data and
information
– Bring together all user communities (public,
research, commercial, private,…)
