  1. The IASON project Fostering sustainability and uptake of research results through Networking activities in Black Sea & Mediterranean areas Prof. Petros Patias Coordinator IASON project is co-funded by the European Commission under the Grant Agreement 603534; Theme [ENV.2013.6.5-4 ENV.2013.6.5-4] IASON / GEO-X Geneva, 14 January. 2014 1

  4. Concept Land use, land cover and land monitoring are amongst the most important geographic information issues today. Their use is essential for : climate variables, climate change monitoring, resources monitoring and estimation, detection of possible mining and drilling sites, detection and monitoring of environmental implications of mining and drilling activities, along with numerous other uses and applications. These had lead different organizations at regional, national, continental and world level to launch various Land Use and Land Cover information programmes: Corine Land Cover, GMES Land services, Globcove, to name but a few.

  5. In a context were environmental threats , ie: • climate change in the form of sea level rise, • water pollution, • water and soil management, • mining environmental implications, • biodiversity loss, • food security • become more and more global, there is a need for better integration of various sources of information at different scales. • Many activities producing information from global to local scale, as well as different research approaches to tackle these problems, are addressing specific requirements along with regional needs. • This has resulted in a suite of different data and information that are not always compatible with each other.

  6. Climate Action • Resource Efficiency • Raw materials Management Black Sea region Mediterranean region • EO in coastal monitoring • EO in water and soil resources management • EO in mining and mineral exploration

  7. Project Objectives • Record, map, and categorize thematically and geographically scientific output achieved by regional and EU funded research creating a portfolio of existing prominent results. • Capacity Building through data integration and interoperability. • To asses projects results and their applications in the Mediterranean and Black Sea Regions under the three thematic nodes (coastal monitoring, water and soil resources management, and mining and mineral exploration). • Establish an EO network covering the Mediterranean and Black Sea basins. • Engage in activities that will foster cooperation between the network’s members/countries and in particular between the EU and the non-EU members/countries on recorded gaps. • Provide consultations to and develop firm links with regional and local institutions, stakeholders and policy makers bridging research agendas with EU priorities for 2020. • Develop a toolkit for fostering and promoting access of regional research institutions to funding opportunities towards a sustainable and market oriented uptake of research results. • Create and maintain thematic nodes of stakeholder communities that will act as focal points for future research interactions.
