“e-shape works with and for users to maximize Earth Observation enabled benefits. A co-design model considering Earth Observation specificities is progressively designed and tested with e-shape pilots, through a dedicated work package”
Co-design | a user-centric go-to-market strategy
“The e-shape implementation work package takes a user-centric approach to identify the challenges and the lessons learned out of the implementation of 37 pilots from 7 thematic domains to build a shared vision and understanding of the Resources landscape, collect proven best practices for cross domains innovation, and to mainstream their usage”
Implementation | building on European EO infrastructure assets
“e-shape has been developing an unprecedented suite of services in support of the exploitation of EO solutions”
Economic sustainability & upscaling | supporting pilots to reach the next level
“The possibilities for Copernicus data in Agriculture are enormous and very diverse, supporting the institutional market, Common Agricultural Policy, insurance, agro industry and many more domains, as demonstrated in the different agricultural pilots”
e-shape showcase “Agriculture”
“Demonstrates the value of Earth observations, engagement of communities and delivering data and information in support of Public Health Surveillance by yielding insight into the threat of vector-borne and environmentally-linked diseases”
e-shape showcase “Health”
“Contributes notably to the clean energy transition of the European Green Deal, the UN Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7), and to the initiative GEO VENER, engaging collaborations between research centers, data providers, DIAS, and end-users from industries, decision-makers and citizens to provide from different Copernicus and other European EO sources, innovative and technology mature products and services for renewable energy development and management”
e-shape showcase "Renewable Energy"
“Serves focal user groups such as research, environmental assessment, reporting and management by offering seamless access to consistently scaled environmental information from various sources at benchmark sites”
e-shape showcase “myECOSYSTEM”
“Reflects the multidisciplinary of this field by presenting seven pilot applications that focus on different elements, from inland waters to coastal areas and the ocean, providing a link to different European Directives and Policies - Water and the Marine Strategy Framework Directives, the Floods, the Integrated Coastal Management Directives and the Common Fisheries Policy - and SDGs - Clean Water and Sanitation, Life Below Water and Climate Action”
e-shape showcase “Water Resources Management”
“Builds on Earth Observation and develops state-of-the-art products and services in support of disasters resilience for the protection of citizens, economies and ecosystems”
e-shape showcase “Disasters Resilience”
“Climate adaptation is on our doorsteps, but the routines to include climate change information into human activity planning is not yet developed. As different seasons need different actions the new seasonal forecasts from the Copernicus Climate Change C3S service is a way to have every month something new to include in planning activities. Useful seasonal forecasts are always combined with local climate information and together they help to assess what changes could be likely in the next season in your own backyard”
