FPCUP Workshop

On 19 and 20 April, more than 25 different institutions from 17 European countries met to exchange current project results at this year's FPCUP workshop in Bonn. While the current status of the overall project was presented at the beginning, 17 partners reported on their current activities. The agenda can be found here. Once again, the meeting showed the importance of sharing experiences and collaborating across borders in order to enhance the uptake of Copernicus. ?

The Framework Partnership Agreement on Copernicus User Uptake (FPCUP) is an EU-funded project that aims to increase the number of Copernicus users and applications derived from Copernicus data or products. The overall project, with 50 partners and 220 activities, is coordinated by the German Space Agency (DLR).
