GMES in a nutshell
• Earth observation is a powerful advanced technology which
through space and ground based capacities can monitor the
Earth's environment and security threats and provide timely and
reliable information
• GMES is an EU-led initiative for an autonomous and operational
European Earth observation capacity
• GMES aims at providing relevant information to policy-makers
and other users, particularly in relation to environment and
security
• A flagship of the European Space Policy
• Builds on existing capacities

GMES Architecture (2/2)
• GMES consists of 3 components
• Space Component relies on:
 Existing or planned European space infrastructure
 Development of space infrastructure co-financed by the EU and
ESA (Sentinels)
• In-Situ Component relies on:
 facilities, instruments and services at national, regional and
intergovernmental levels inside and outside the EU
• Service component
 Forecasting and mapping services: marine, atmosphere, land,
emergency
 Priorities to develop: contribution of GMES to security and
climate change monitoring
A user-driven programme
• Implementation of services based on user requirements
• Infrastructure availability guarantees sustainability of
services

Governance (2/2)
• The partnership concept:
 a large number of players will contribute to the implementation of
GMES
 EU contribution through a dedicated EU programme
• Political coordination
 European Commission assisted by a Partners Board,
Programme Committee, Security Board and a User Forum
• Technical implementation
 Space Component coordination, development and procurement
for and on behalf of the EU: ESA
• Sentinel Operations: ESA (ad interim) and EUMETSAT
 In-situ and Service Components: EEA and other EU agencies
Public investment for growth
• GMES is implemented through public
investment
• GMES has a positive impact on economy,
growth, jobs and innovation
• Free and open data policy: key success
factor
 Security of Information
International cooperation
• Imperative to fulfil the European need for information
at global level and to develop a cost efficient system
• GMES partners should ensure a coordinated
approach for an international cooperation strategy
building on existing cooperation schemes
• Group on Earth Observations (GEO) process
 ensure access to observation data not controlled by Europe
 define the European contribution to this international
endeavour
Financing
• Public financing for GMES with a modular
approach
• Three stages:
• demonstration stage (R&D funding)
• pre-operational stage (mixed R&D and
operational funding)
• operational stage (operational funding)
FP7 Space: % distribution at a glance
• Space-based applications at the service of
European society (GMES) (85% of budget,
i.e. 1.2 billion)
 About 30% for services development: EC
 About 10% for data procurement (space-based
and in-situ): ESA + EEA
 About 45% foreseen for developing space
infrastructure: ESA
• Strengthening Space Foundations (15% of
budget, i.e. 0.2 billion)
When and how will FP7 Space funding
be made available?

9.1 Space-based applications at the
service of European society (GMES)
• Development of downstream services
 Focus on service functionality
 Build the ‘GMES economy’ – service to a client
• Consolidation of monitored climate change
issues
 essential climate variables (ECV)
• Integrating use of Earth Observation with
SatCom and SatNav
 particularly for prevention and management of
emergencies
GMES Preparatory Actions
• GMES preparatory actions
 prepare the ground for an EU programme
 complementary to FP7 budget
 focus on services and user interface
• 2008 preparatory action
 supports development of user interface in the field of emergency
response
 budget 3M€ over 3 years
 Kick-off: 27-Jan-09
• 2009 preparatory action approved
 Focus on GMES services
 similar budget
 probable publication in first semester 2009
Policy and Institutional Issues:
Next steps
• The Commission will make a legislative proposal for the
initial operations of GMES and for an EU Earth
observation programme
• The GMES financing needs will be subject to an
analysis led by the EU
• The Commission will propose interim governance
arrangements
• Additional work
 data policy
 international cooperation
 competitiveness and innovation
GMES and GNSS
• From a technical perspective
 navigation and Earth observation are complementary
• From a policy perspective
 GNSS and GMES are both flagships of the European Space
Policy
• From a user perspective
 there is need for an integrated approach both of different
techologies and of space and ground-based systems
• From an EU policy perspective
 sectoral legislation is a platform for the use of space technologies
Space in support of innovation
• European Council included space technologies and
derived services as building block of the innovation
plan, which is part of the European strategy against
the economic crisis
• Lisbon strategy
 Growth and jobs
 SME’s
• ESA Programmes
 Integrated Applications Programme
 Technology Transfer Programme
GMES Services
Three Service areas based on Earth systems:
• Land Monitoring: initially European land cover &
urban spots
• Marine Monitoring: sea state & ecosystem
characteristics over global ocean & European
regional seas
• Atmospheric Monitoring: atmospheric
composition for air quality (European) and climate
forcing (global), ozone monitoring (global) and
solar energies
Further, horizontal components:
• Emergency Response
• Security
• Climate Change
Emergency Response
• Initial scope of service: rapid mapping
• Full service addresses entire emergency cycle
Land Monitoring
•Starting with…
•Main information over
Europe
 3-5 yearly updates of core
land cover / land use data
with minimum mapping
units of 1-5 ha, improved
on Corine basis
 Land cover / land use data
of 500 functional urban
areas (100,000 inh.),
minimum mapping units
0.1 ha
Extension
• Addition of a global component
• Thematic services: agriculture,
forest, soils, water resources
Marine Service
Systematic reference
information on the state of the
ocean over global ocean &
European regional seas
• Observational and model
data
• Now- and forecasting
• Re-analyses
• Ocean scenario simulations
(with climate modelling
centres)
• Evolution towards marine resource
& coastal zone management
• Component of the EU Maritime
Policy
Atmospheric Service

Climate Change and GMES
• Address the topic horizontally in the Earth System components of
GMES Services (Land, Marine, Atmosphere)
• Scope
 Generation of long time series of consistent observation datasets
and reanalyses of past observational data  provide added value
on essential climate variables identified by GCOS and drive the
development of climate change (earth system) modelling to be
performed by existing capacities outside of GMES
 GMES supports interfacing geo-information into socio-economic
models
