Project website

e-shape, as Europe’s contribution to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), aims at bringing together Earth Observation resources in Europe.

In short

It allows Europe to be established as a global force in Earth observation through leveraging Copernicus, making use of existing European capacities and improving user uptake of the data from Group on Earth Observations (GEO) assets.

Aim of the e-shape project is to develop functional services based on Earth Observation technologies and data, in collaboration with and for users, and to create an environment that will enable Europe to exploit its potential to meet societal challenges, encourage entrepreneurship and support sustainable growth.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, under Grant Agreement No. 820852
