FP7 GMES
Downstream Research Projects
Develop Products and Services for
the Monitoring of the Environment
using GMES (Global Monitoring of
the Environment and Security)
components
Funded through the Space Research
Theme of FP7:
EU to stimulate and support the
implementation of value added service
Tailored for specific applications of
6 service domains:
Atmosphere, Land, Marine, Emergency,
Climate Change and Security
Downstream
Research Projects
Positioned between the multi-purpose
core services and a specific group of
user clients
Making an extended use of adequate
products made available by the core
services.
Use previous research, collaborate with
other research projects.
Goal of reaching self-sustainability
or
Expected to contribute to the integration
of future lines into (pre)operational
service chains of the GMES services.

Common characteristics
Asimuth
Use of EO data and information:
- EO Remote sensing and in situ;
historical, archives, recent, on-order, rush
mode
- Use of Core services products
- Use of existing local information
Expected impact to establish
innovative services by improving
current monitoring techniques:
new tools, new algorithms, new
processes, new scientific methodologies,
risk indicators, Standardised & validated
products
PanGeo
Sustainability required:
continuity of service as a priority,
close link between users and services with
demonstration of services & integration
into current users practices + training for
user uptake
MS.MONINA
Benefits
Tailored for different scales: local,
national, regional needs
Link to EU legislation: reporting
obligations, preparedness
e.g. habitat directive, bird directive
Flood directive, water …
Building on INSPIRE directive for
interoperability of Member States
data information
Supporting EEA's efforts to monitor
the environment
Encouraged to support and link to
international initiatives supported
by the EU:
GEO, UNFCCC's REDD+, ..

Conclusions
• - Contact the projects: if your interest lies in one of the
domains covered there is probably a project with which
you would be interested to cooperate.
• - Presentation by Mr Schulte-Braucks on GMES on
Thursday 22 November @13.20 pm will provide valuable
info on the GMES programme and its contribution to the
GEOSS.
• - Projects are developing services in the spirit of GEO’s
vision; many are already contributing to the GEOSS; their
focus and their SME rooting place them well to further
support GEO post 2015.
