"GMES Operational capacity workshop" maaliskuussa Bulgariassa
The key objectives of the GMES Sofia workshop are to raise awareness of the GMES Programme, with the emphasis on the role of and challenges for the EU-12; and to foster information exchange among the different stakeholders. The event will display the capacities and activities already realised by the EU-12 in the current GMES projects, the opportunities for developing the capacity of the GMES main components, and the potential impact of GMES services on local and regional administrations and generic users. It will provide an open platform for representatives from different governmental bodies, European institutions and agencies, networks, research organisations, and also data and service providers, business managers and others.
Part of the workshop will be dedicated to discussion of Earth Observation issues and challenges in specific thematic areas, namely Land Management, Emergency Response, and Marine & Atmosphere Observations.
Main topics to be addressed:
The evolution of GMES: research and operational aspects:
- Deeper integration of EU-12 capacity based to top - down and bottom–up approach in the Operational program
- Regional networking in service provision, data collection and availability, based on the user needs, common reference databases; etc.
- Forecasting and prevention in the field of environment protection & citizens security; emergencies response; risk and security management;
The GMES program governance for infrastructure observation and services provision:
- Greater impact on user oriented services;
- Integration between core and downstream, space and in-situ service components;

Progresses in GMES services and involvement of EU-12:
