  1. The role of Copernicus in Promoting the European Economy Geospatial World Forum Rotterdam, 16 May, 2013 Dr Reinhard Schulte-Braucks Head GMES Unit, DG ENTR, EC

  2. New name Copernicus: The new name for GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security)

  3. Outline Copernicus – an introduction Specific service applications Key activities in 2013 Cost-Benefit analysis Data policy

  4. Outline Copernicus – an introduction Specific service applications Key activities in 2013 Cost-Benefit analysis Data policy

  5. Copernicus – an introduction • A source of information for policymakers, scientists, businesses and the public at large • A European response to global needs to manage the environment, and to ensure civil security • A user-drivenprogramme of services • An integrated Earth Observation system of systems (combining space-based and in-situ data with Earth System Models and services)

  6. Copernicus Space Infrastructure The primary source of observational data • SENTINELS – satellite missions developed by ESA specifically for Copernicus • Contributing missions – satellite missions built for purposes other than Copernicus but offering part of their capacity to Copernicus (Member States, EUMETSAT, commercial operators) • Managed for Europe by the European Space Agency (ESA)

  8. Copernicus Operational Services Services monitoring Earth systems Marine Land Atmosphere Horizontal services Climate Change Emergency Security • Output: Value-Added Services

  9. Volcano Eyjafjallajökull case Volcanic discharge analysed using satellite data complemented by in-situ measurements

  10. Emergency Response Reference maps Pre-disaster situation maps Reference maps Disaster response maps Reference maps Post-disaster situation maps The quality of the Emergency Management Service response will critically depend on the presence of freely available in-situ reference data from the country affected by the emergency

  13. Outline Copernicus – an introduction Specific service applications Key activities in 2013 Cost-Benefit analysis Data policy

  14. Cost-Benefit analysis • Copernicus funding from MFF (2014-2020): • €3.8 Bn (i.e. an average of €541 Mio per year) • Cost per EU inhabitant will be ~€1.07 per year • Expected minimum financial benefit by 2030 is ~€29.4 Bn • For every €1 spent we get a return of ~€3.2 • An estimated 48,000 jobs will be created

  15. Cost-Benefit analysis • Using a system dynamics model, the FeliX model1), cumulative benefits could increase further by a factor of between 5 and 10 • This could lead to benefits by 2030 in the order of €200 Bn • So Copernicus will result in benefits many times larger than the EU investment 1)The FeliX - Full of Economic-Environment Linkages and Integration dX/dt - system dynamics modeltakes into account the complex relationships between natural and socio-economic systems

  16. Outline Copernicus – an introduction Specific service applications Key activities in 2013 Cost-Benefit analysis Data policy

  17. Data policy • The EC has been assigned the responsibility to draft a Delegated Act on Copernicus Data & Information Policy • Wide consultations have taken place with experts and the user community • Realisation of the predicted benefits is dependent on an appropriate data policy

  18. Data policy • Data from Sentinel satellites and Copernicus services will be available on a free, full and open basis • The only access restrictions will be those associated with sensitive security scenarios • Extensive data from contributing missions will be made available under the licensing conditions of the owner

  19. Conclusions • A 'level playing field' is being created, maximising the potential for benefits to be generated • Now it is for European industry to exploit this unique resource to the maximum extent possible
