Land applications: urban, forest, agriculture,..
Sentinel 3+6 – Ocean and global land monitoring, high
precision ocean altimetry
Sentinel 4+5 – Atmosphere composition monitoring, from a
geostationary (-4) and a polar orbit (-5)

(EMS)
has two components:
► Early Warning
 EFAS (floods)
 EFFIS (forest

► Mapping
 Rapid Mapping
 Risk & Recovery
Space
EFAS
European Flood Awareness System (EFAS),
the early warning system for floods
EFAS fully operational: under development at JRC since 2002 and
fully operational since September 2012 under the Copernicus
Emergency Management Service.
Objectives of EFAS:

Provide complementary flood forecasting information to
national services

Provide European scale overview to the ERCC/ECHO

Pre-alerting Copernicus EMS Mapping
• EFAS partners: national/regional hydrometeorological
authorities; currently more than 35 partners
(EU & non-EU)
Space

EFFIS
European Forest Fire Information System
•The scope of EFFIS is to:
– Provide EU level assessments during both pre-fire and post-fire phases
– Complement national fire information systems
– Support forest fire fighting operations
•Users
– EC Services, European Parliament, national/regional forest fires and
civil protection services of EU and non-EU countries, and EU citizens

Service Evolution
Operational service will not be static
 Research needs arising from user requirements and new methodologies
 Immediate service enhancement (mature products): inside Copernicus
 Long term evolution: research e.g. input to Horizon 2020
 Copernicus User Uptake for
activities to continue
 Trade-off between priorities,
costs, expected benefits
Services are to maintain
and document:
 User requirement data base
 Evolution strategy

 Supporting information is available to
proposers in various forms:
 What is currently being funded in the operational
Copernicus Programme?
 Information is available in Copernicus Annual Work
programme for 2015, which outlines the current
operational activities, and
 also provides in annex a forward looking multi-annual
Implementation plan (2014-2020)
 See www.copernicus.eu – Link to Document Repository
Space
 Are there opportunities to participate in the
operational provision of Copernicus services until
2020?
 Horizon 2020 is not funding activities which are providing
operational Copernicus services.
 You may find ways to contribute to the operational service
provision by answering to invitations to tender of the
Copernicus services
 These are pre-announced on EU TED portal
(http://ted.europa.eu/TED)
 See www.copernicus.eu – Link to Tenders and Grants
Space
 What then about Horizon 2020 evolution topic?
 EO-3-2016 topic aims at independent long-term research
which will be of use for Copernicus evolution as of 2019+
 How do I know what long-term research will be
needed by Copernicus ?
 A guidance document has been published with the call to
provide research needs and priority topics identified in the
context of Copernicus operations.
 See H2020 Space Call documentation
