Who?
The target audience for the workshop includes Copernicus and DestinE users, Earth observation and digital service providers, policy makers, industry, academia, IT experts, etc.
How?
The event is hosted by the European Commission Directorate-General for Defence Industry and Space (DG DEFIS) with support from the Space Research Unit of the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA).
Why?
Over more than a decade now, Copernicus has been providing an unprecedented amount of Earth observations, added-value products, applications and services in support of EU policies and the broader public uptake.
At the same time, the digital revolution around Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML), High Performance Computing (HPC), Digital Twins and big data has seen the emergence of groundbreaking use of Copernicus and other Earth Observation data and frontier applications with the potential to revolutionize Copernicus in the near future.
The Copernicus implementing entities are gradually leveraging these new technologies, and the Earth observation – AI/ML nexus is an opportunity that the EU cannot miss.
What?
The workshop reviews challenges and opportunities around the new and fast evolving AI/ML landscape and what this means for the future of Copernicus as we prepare for the next MFF 2028-2034.
The event takes stock of the current AI/ML, big data and HPC revolution as well as evolving user needs and expectations around trustworthy AI products. It also explores how to capitalize on recent innovation breakthrough such as digital twins. In that context, this forum is an opportunity to further shape the Copernicus – DestinE synergies.
The event features high-level keynote presentations, carefully selected technical briefings, panel discussions and hands-on demonstrations.
