Project Overview (2/2)
METIS countries:
Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon,
Morocco, the Palestinian Authority,
Syria, Tunisia, Turkey
METIS Team:
>Euro-Med Consortium composed by 5 partners, TPZ (coordinator - I), FDC (F),
ESSP (B), AUI (Mo), AAS (F)
>More than 20 subcontractors (mainly MEDA) involved in activity A, B or C
>GEMCO involved as subcontractor for activities B and C
METIS outcomes:
>Contributing to the definition of Euro-Mediterranean policy and actions in favour
of the GNSS (EGNOS/GALILEO) services market in MEDA
>Establishing cooperation and shared objectives between EU and MEDA economic
actors supporting such a policy

Project Workplan
METIS key activities:
>Activity A - Development of a “GNSS Regional Plan”
>Activity B - Running a programme of “Training & Awareness”
>Activity C - Enabling “GNSS Service Demonstration” in the regions

METIS First Master Training & Seminar, Ifrane (Morocco), 15-16.03.2007
Activity A - “GNSS Regional Plan” (1/3)
Development of a plan for the GNSS Service implementation:
>In the ten MEDA countries
>For the different user/application domain
>With a 5-10 years long scenario
>From the initial introduction of EGNOS to the further addition of Galileo
>To ease the introduction of Galileo

Activity A - “GNSS Regional Plan” (2/3)
Target: MEDA Decision-makers
GNSS Regional Plan:
>Identifies of “core” problems
>Sets priorities
>Proposes strategy
>Defines action plan
Actions and measures for:
>Technical realisation/infrastructure implementation
>Business development (awareness & communication to the sector)
>Institutional framework and capacity development
>Overall cost of actions
At short term (5 years)
And medium term (10 years; >10 years out of the scope of the plan)

Activity A - “GNSS Regional Plan” (3/3)
MEDA actors involvement is a key factor for “METIS Regional Plan”:
Inputs necessary for defining basic elements:
>GNSS service needs and priority markets
>Current status and evolution of GNSS versus regional needs
>Service provision schemes and necessary infrastructure elements
>Addressable markets (size, segmentation, evolution in next 5-10 years)
>Cost and potential revenue sources and benefits
>Clear and updated picture of existing sub-regional initiatives / plan / policies
Feedback and shared approach for defining strategy plan:
>Recommendations and guidelines
>Exploitation of synergies with relevant on-going/planned initiatives and projects
>Steps/actions to be undertaken at proper level
>Potential investment opportunities/funding requirements

Activity B - “Training & Awareness”
Development of a customised training and awareness plan:
>List of MEDA Point of Contacts (PoCs)
>Training needs and tools identification
>Training and communication material production
>Launch of dissemination and promotion activities
>Education and training plan implementation
Close cooperation with GEMCO
Supporting Activity A in the Regional Plan preparation (events, PoCs)
Supported by promotion & training within Activity C
METIS Training & Awareness is a key element for MEDA actors involvement
This event is part of METIS “Training & Awareness” Activity
Page 9
METIS First Master Training & Seminar, Ifrane (Morocco), 15-16.03.2007
Activity C - “GNSS Service Demonstration” (1/4)
Implementation of GNSS Service Demonstrations
Setting up and execution of 10 demonstrations, covering 9 MEDA countries
>4 “Wide-area Demo”
>6 “Local-area Demo”
METIS GNSS Service demonstration objectives:
>Demonstrate GNSS benefits in real user case / operative scenarios
>Validate EGNOS in various application domains vs. MEDA regional needs
>Cover all MEDA region Countries
>Maximise the involvement of key local actors in GNSS service pilots
>Provide tools for the local exploitation and promotion of GNSS capabilities
MEDA actors involvement in “METIS GNSS Service Demonstrations”:
>Provide inputs to “METIS Regional Plan” by validating real application cases
>Support “Training & Awareness Plan” by creating awareness towards local
audience
