The Copernicus programme (REGULATION (EU) No 377/2014) is a cornerstone of the European Union´ efforts:
To monitor the Earth, its environment and ecosystems
To ensure its citizens are prepared and protected for crises, security risks and natural or man-made disasters
Copernicus as user driven Programme
Places a world of insight (data and information) about our planet at the disposal of citizens, public authorities and policy makers, scientists, entrepreneurs and businesses on a full, free and open basis
Is a tool for economic development and a driver for the digital economy
With the adoption in April and the launch of S1A, the European Programme for Earth Observation, Copernicus, will deliver European information services based on satellite Earth Observation and in-situ data analyses. It is the first time that vast amounts of global data from satellites and from ground-based, airborne and seaborne measurement systems are being used to provide information to help service providers, public authorities and other international organisations improve the quality of life for the citizens of Europe. The information services provided will be freely and openly accessible to users.
The services address six thematic areas: land, marine, atmosphere, climate change, emergency management and security.
Copernicus Services support a broad range of environmental and security applications, including sustainable development, transport and mobility, climate change monitoring, civil protection, urban area management, regional and local planning, agriculture and health.
The wealth of space based data is an important opportunity to develop innovative space applications. Copernicus Services will have to evolve to remain in tune with the state-of-art, adjusting to user's requirement and new developments need. Thanks to H2020, the Europe's research Programme, this will be guaranteed.
The European Commission completed in November 2016 a large-scale study which examined the overall impact of the Copernicus programme on the European economy and its benefits for the space industry, the downstream sector and end-users.
The results of this exercise were published in the first Copernicus Market Report.
The Value Added Element (VAE) and Data User Element (DUE) are two programmatic components of the Earth Observation Envelope Programme (EOEP), an optional programme of the European Space Agency, currently subscribed by 20 ESA Member States. While the DUE mission focuses on the establishment of a long-term relationship between the User communities and Earth Observation in support of major environmental conventions, the VAE focuses on developing the European and Canadian EO Services Industry in growing the prospects of sustainable use of EO-based information the operations of non-EO businesses and organisations.
EPIC - European Photonics Industry Consortium, annual report highlighting major achievements for 2013. FOREWORD of the PRESIDENT: The past year has been a year of great achievements for EPIC. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary and could not have done it in a better way than by excelling in every activity area we embarked upon. I would like to take this opportunity to commend EPIC on its achievements in being the voice of the industry, reaching out to both the industry and policy makers, continuing its work on EU funded projects and of course on the publications and industry events that the Association has organised. In addition, the year has been marked by a major growth in membership of the Association, allowing us to deliver even stronger benefits to a wider audience. I hope that once you have had a chance to glance through this outline of the work carried out by EPIC in the past year that you join me in recognising that our sector is being powerfully represented by your Industry Association at both a European and a Global level. INTRODUCTION of the DIRECTOR GENERAL:
As EPIC celebrated its 10th anniversary it was encouraging to see that our industry combines ingenuity and creativity to further technology advancement and creates applications that are addressing our world’s most critical societal challenges. EPIC’s 148 member build on the richness and diversity of the industry; through fostering openness to explore collaboration opportunities. At the various EPIC events it is evident that a strong interlink and partnership among the companies exists. The collaboration that can been seen takes a great many forms: you collaborate on EU funded project proposals, you provide input in the development of market reports, you take part in commercial trade missions- all in all you make our industry a lively and very active community! EPIC is an ever-growing community representing the Photonics sector in all its variations and it was pleasing to review not only the work that was done by our Association so that we can present this report to you but also to see that our sector’s importance is recognised in many countries around the world e.g. France’s President François Hollande visited the laser manufacturer Amplitude Systèmes and in the UK Business Secretary Vince Cable visited Rofin-Sinar and SPI. Enjoy this snapshot of the activities of EPIC in 2013.

hackAIR - Open technology to map the air we breathehackAIR
Air pollution is the single environmental issue Europeans worry about the most, and many do not feel sufficiently informed about air quality issues in their country. Despite our commitments to measure air quality, official data remains patchy and is not always easily accessible.
The EU-funded project hackAIR joins the movement to improve air quality data in Europe through participatory sensing technology and citizen’s engagement. We build an open technology platform that you can use to access, collect and improve air quality information in Europe.
Big Data lay at the core of the strong data economy that is emerging in Europe. Although both large enterprises and SMEs acknowledge the potential of Big Data in disrupting the market and business models, this is not reflected in the growth of the data economy. The lack of trusted, secure, ethical-driven personal data platforms and privacy-aware analytics, hinders the growth of the data economy and creates concerns. The main considerations are related to the secure sharing of personal and proprietary/industrial data, and the definition of a fair remuneration mechanism that will be able to capture, produce, release and cash out the value of data, always for the benefit of all the involved stakeholders.
This webinar will focus on how such concerns that pertain to privacy, ethics and intellectual property rights can be tackled, by allowing individuals to take ownership and control of their data and share them at will, through flexible data sharing and fair compensation schemes with other entities (companies or not), as researched by the DataVaults project.

Intro - Three pillars for building a Smart Data Ecosystem: Trust, Security an...Big Data Value Association
Today’s data marketplaces are large, closed ecosystems that are in the hands of few established players or a consortium that decide on the rules, policies, etc.
Yet, the main barrier of the European data economy is the fact that current data spaces and marketplaces are “siloes”, without support for data exchange across their boundaries.
This webinar reveals how these boundaries can be overcome through the i3-MARKET “backplane”, which is an infrastructure able to connect all the stakeholders providing the suitable level of trust (consensus-based self-governing, auditability, reliability, verifiable credentials), security (P2P encryption, cryptographic proofs) and privacy (self-sovereign identity, zero-knowledge proof, explicit user consent).

BigDataPilotDemoDays - I BiDaaS Application to the Manufacturing Sector WebinarBig Data Value Association
The new data-driven industrial revolution highlights the need for big data technologies to unlock the potential in various application domains. To this end, BDV PPP projects I-BiDaaS, BigDataStack, Track & Know and Policy Cloud deliver innovative technologies to address the emerging needs of data operations and applications. To fully exploit the sustainability and take full advantage of the developed technologies, the projects onboarded pilots that exhibit their applicability in a wide variety of sectors. In the Big Data Pilot Demo Days, the projects will showcase the developed and implemented technologies to interested end-users from the industry as well as technology providers, for further adoption.
One of the main goals of the I-BiDaaS project is to provide a Big Data as a self-service solution that will empower the actual employees of European companies in targeted sectors (banking, manufacturing, telecom), i.e., the true decision-makers, with the insights and tools they need in order to make the right decisions in an agile way. In this big data pilot webinar, we will demonstrate in a step by step fashion the I-BiDaaS self-service solution and its application to the banking sector. In more detail, we will present an overview of the I-BiDaaS project focusing on the requirements of the CaixaBank pilot study, the I-BiDaaS architecture with its core technologies, and a step by step demo of the I-BiDaaS solution. Last but not least, we will show through CaixaBank's success story how I-BiDaaS can resolve data availability, data sharing, and breaking silos challenges in the banking domain.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”
