ERA-PLANET though its SMURBS and iGOSP projects is contributing to the e-shape project (https://e-shape.eu) which is aimed to power user-oriented applications that stakeholders and policy makers may use. Within the E-Shape project the contribution from SMURBS and iGOSP is focused on a dedicated Showcase on Health Surveillance and specifically through three pilots, EO-based surveillance of mercury pollution, EO-based surveillance of POPs pollution and EO-based pollution-health risks profiling in the urban environment, which are addressed to provide (by the end of e-Shape project) mature market-oriented applications for co-designing policy-oriented socio-economic scenarios.
