What is Gfg 2 ?<br />
• Gfg 2 - GNSS for Global Environmental Earth Observation<br />
(GEEO) and GEOSS<br />
• Gfg 2 is a three year coordination action funded by the 7th<br />
Framework Program of the European Commission under the<br />
Environment theme (2010)<br />
• Mission: to better asses the value of GNSS for Global<br />
Environmental Earth Observation (GEEO) and GEOSS<br />
• Duration: 36 months<br />
• Project Kick Off: 17th November 2010
What are GEO and GEOSS?<br />
• A system of systems with<br />
the goal to provide support<br />
to decision makers<br />
• Built around 9 Societal<br />
Benefit Areas<br />
GEOSS (The<br />
Global Earth<br />
Observation<br />
System of<br />
Systems)<br />
GEO (The Group on<br />
Earth Observation)<br />
http://www.earthobservations.org<br />
• Is a voluntary partnership<br />
of governments and<br />
international organizations<br />
unifying efforts to build<br />
GEOSS
Why Gfg 2 ?<br />
FRAMEWORK<br />
GEOSS 10 year implementation plan<br />
EU<br />
COMPROMISE<br />
Ensure the full interaction and<br />
engagement of relevant science and<br />
technology communities into GEOSS<br />
implementation<br />
WHY<br />
To guarantee that state of the art Earth<br />
Science knowledge is continuously<br />
applied into GEOSS development and<br />
operation<br />
WORKING TO THIS AIM: The EU acknowledged the need to better assess<br />
the scientific value of GNSS beyond their classical positioning services

Gfg 2 Goals<br />
To consolidate<br />
a community of<br />
experts<br />
interested in the<br />
scientific<br />
exploitation of<br />
GNSS for GEEO<br />
and GEOSS<br />
To explore<br />
novel<br />
applications<br />
derived from<br />
GNSS for GEEO<br />
and GEOSS<br />
while enhancing<br />
researchindustry<br />
collaboration to<br />
implement these<br />
applications<br />
To identify the<br />
research and<br />
technological<br />
challenges and<br />
define the<br />
strategic vision,<br />
roadmap and<br />
policy for GNSS<br />
for GEEO and<br />
GEOSS<br />
available or<br />
under<br />
development<br />
To assess the<br />
value of a<br />
European<br />
GNSS<br />
independent<br />
constellation<br />
(EGNOS-<br />
GALILEO) in the<br />
support to GEEO<br />
and GEOSS<br />
To promote the<br />
public<br />
understanding<br />
of GNSS for<br />
GEEO and<br />
GEOSS<br />
research and<br />
use within the<br />
GEO
Today’s workshop Goal<br />
The main objectives of the workshop are:<br />
• to consolidate a set of needs per SBA<br />
that could be achievable by the use of<br />
GNSS technology<br />
• to set the basis for the identification of<br />
novel GNSS applications for Global<br />
Environmental Earth Observation and<br />
GEOSS
