Within Horizon 2020, Earth Observation (EO), and more specifically novel
in-situ observation systems are key research areas under Societal
Challenge 5 (SC5): Climate Action, Environment, Resource Efficiency and
Raw Materials.
EO research within Horizon 2020 represents an important
area of opportunity and a major funding source for Irish researchers
(in Higher Education Institutes (HEIs), Industry, and Non-Government
Organisations (NGOs)). One of the key challenges for Irish researchers
wanting to participate in the Horizon 2020 SC5 specifically is to target
and identify possible relevant consortia to partner with.
This EPA Small Scale Study project (2015-SE-SS- 2) is focused on opport-
unities for Irish researchers for participation in the Horizon 2020 topic –
‘SC5-18-2017: Novel in-situ observation systems’. This report is part of a
study which aims to map research excellence and capacity, in Ireland and
at EU level, to support participation in Horizon 2020. The output of this
study will support researchers who wish to participate in consortia applying
for funding under this topic in the forthcoming 2017 call.
Total of 83 projects identified across
the databases searched
Total of 20 Horizon 2020 projects identified
Total of 63 FP7 projects identified
Under Horizon 2020 Irish researchers involved
in 3 Earth Observation related research projects
to date (Feb 2016)
Under FP7 Irish researchers were involved in 5
EO related research projects
EO research activities under Horizon 2020 are considered an
essential element to accompany, and build on the invest-
ments made by the EU in Copernicus, and in the Global
Earth Observation Systems of Systems (GEOSS).
Research and innovation actions addressing EO, aims at
developing innovative solutions to complete the in-situ
component of Copernicus and GEOSS.
