Global Monitoring for
Environment and Security

DG ENTR- GMES Bureau
NEREUS – 1 December 2010
What is GMES?
•An independent Earth Observation system for Europe
•The largest fleet of satellites and atmosphere/earthbased monitoring instruments in the world
•An end user-focused programme of services for
environment and security
•Joined-up information for policymakers, scientists,
businesses and the public
•Europe’s response to the global need for environment
and climate monitoring
EU Added value
• Overall “information chain”: from observation to
information required by the users
• “System of systems“: mutualisation & long term
sustainability of capacities & resources
• Build on existing capacities in MS
• Coordination of user needs at Global, European,
National and Regional level
What is the objective?
...to provide information services
to policy-makers and other users

GMES Components
GMES is an EU led initiative
In-situ component – coordinated by EEA
• Observations mostly within national responsibility,
with coordination at European level
• air, sea- and ground-based systems and instruments
Space Component – coordinated by ESA
• Sentinels - EO missions developed specifically for GMES:
• Contributing Missions - EO missions built for purposes other than
GMES but offering part of their capacity to GMES
(EU/ESA MSs, EUMETSAT, commercial, international)

Based on
PWC study
Expected benefits
• Short term: support to the implementation
of running policies and legislation
• Medium Term: support to the definition
and formulation of new policies
• Longer Term: impacting the formulation and
implementation of policies with a global reach
Expected benefits
• Space technologies and derived services as
building block of the innovation plan, which is part
of the European strategy against the economic
crisis
• The implementation of GMES will be ensured by
European Companies :
- downstream services companies will
from the European investments
benefit
- They will have the ability to develop long term
strategy thanks to Earth Observation data
- The competencies will be kept and available in
Europe

Role of regions
It is highly important to involve the regional dimension in the
implementation of GMES services.
This involvement will:
• help to identify specific needs that could be similar in
different regions and could form the basis for a cross-border
and trans-national cooperation,
• promote GMES capabilities better in local administrations
and thereby foster an increased demand.
• facilitate access to services for regional users
• foster partnerships for downstream service providers
Role of regions
Call for proposals was included in FP7-Space
Workrprogramme 2010 (negotiations ongoing)
Expected impact from selected projects
• improving the knowledge, structuring and awareness of the
GMES downstream sector at the regional level.
• supporting downstream service providers’ ability to obtain a
better market overview, to identify and assess market
segments suitable for investment, and to identify potential
partners.
• providing regional users of GMES services with a facilitated
identification of services and service providers with a
capacity to respond to their needs.
• enhancing the attraction for regional financial support to
GMES related activities.
Conclusion
• GMES is a challenge: it is an
ambitious programme with great
expectations and involves several
partners.
• Ambitious activities need time
• Moving from Research to operations
• Regions role as users and
downstream market facilitators

Land services
• Land services address a broad range of EU policies and
users (land use planning, forestry, water, agriculture
etc.)
• Stepwise approach:
 « multi-purpose » products common to many
users and applications (1st priority): 3 components
• Global : Essential Climate Variables (ECVs),
biogeophysical parameters in support to Climate
Change monitoring
• Continental : Pan-EU products (e.g. Pan-EU
land cover and land cover change)
• Local : zooming on ‘hot spot’ (e.g. urban areas,
protected area, coastal areas etc.)
 thematic products at EU or International level
(e.g. water quality/quantity models, crop forecasts,
environmental indicators etc.)
