ConnectinGEO project, work on the coordination of Earth observation networks with communities of science and technology, industry sector, GEOSS, and Copernicus.

The aim is to provide a broader knowledge base and accessible to support the needs of Social Benefit Areas (SBA) of the Group on Earth Observation (GEO) and its users. It addresses a range of issues, from climate, natural resources and raw materials, to emerging Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) proposed by the UN.

The main results of the project are to create a European network of networks of observations (ENEON), including observations from satellites and in-situ aeroportades, as well as the establishment of a prioritized list of critical deficiencies within the European Union in the framework of Earth observations and models to translate observations into applied knowledge. The prioritized list include research activities necessary to address these gaps. So will increase the coherence of observation networks in Europe and increase the use of Earth observations for assessments and forecasts and planning for future observing systems.
