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.

Space research : space research projects under the 7th framework programme for research (5th call)
Civilisations have always wondered what is beyond the sky. But it is only recently that the limitless possibilities provided by space science and technology came into stronger spotlight and started to be used to the full. The EU has been playing a significant role in this process, in particular through the FP7 space research programme. The 5th FP7 space call brochure – through presentation of 50 projects divided into four categories (Copernicus applications and data; space technologies; space science and data exploitation; cross-cutting issues) – aims at giving a comprehensive overview of Europe's endeavours to fully, yet sustainably, use space for purposes ranging from excellent reception of TV signal to helping victims of earthquakes and other natural disasters

The INSPIRE Implementing Rules (IRs) on interoperability of spatial data sets and services and for network services include requirements for setting up a Spatial Data Infrastructure in Europe for supporting environmental policy making as well as policies with impact on the environment. To help Data provider with technical aspects of the IRs as well as with its correct implementation, INSPIRE Technical Guidelines (TG) were developed for each 34 data themes (INSPIRE data specifications) and for the different types of INSPIRE network services (discovery, view, download and transformation).
Spatial objects are mapped, digitalized and stored in a GIS data sets or (spatial) database. Normally, the structure of the data will depend on the specific needs for which the data are collected and used. In order to provide them in compliance with INSPIRE, these source data sets have to be transformed to match the data model prescribed by INSPIRE and have to be provided through INSPIRE download services.
This training will show and illustrate through "hands on" exercises how data sets can be transformed and provided through INSPIRE-compliant services by covering the following topics:
1) Data transformation: This session gives an introduction and explanations about encoding rules, mapping original attributes into the INSPIRE data models and vocabularies and extending data models and vocabularies.
2) Download services: This session will explore the procedure of providing transformed dataset into through an INSPIRE network service, e.g. through an WMS (for view services) or WFS or ATOM feeds (download services).
3) "Hands on" session: This session will give an overview of different architectural approaches (e.g. on-the-fly transformation and stand-alone offline transformation) and concrete software solutions for transforming spatial data and creating INSPIRE-compliant services.

The presentation focuses on the dissemination strategy of the FP7 project LAMPRE - LAndslide Modelling and tools for vulnerability assessment Preparedness and REcovery management.
The project is based on state-of-the-art scientific understanding of landslide phenomena, and their spatial and temporal evolution. This presentation considers how LAMPRE communicates with different users and stakeholders in response to landslide hazards. It outlines how to address communication needs of organizations dealing with the adverse effects of landslides in order to improve their ability 1) to forecast the impact of landslide events; 2) to assess the vulnerability to landslides of properties, infrastructure and population; 3) to implement clear strategies for recovery and reconstruction actions.
Development of a Java-based application for environmental remote sensing data...IJECEIAES
Air pollution is one of the most serious problems the world faces today. It is highly necessary to monitor pollutants in real-time to anticipate and reduce damages caused in several fields of activities. Likewise, it is necessary to provide decision makers with useful and updated environmental data. As a solution to a part of the above-mentioned necessities, we developed a Java-based application software to collect, process and visualize several environmental and pollution data, acquired from the Mediterranean Dialog earth Observatory (MDEO) platform [1]. This application will amass data of Morocco area from EUMETSAT satellites, and will decompress, filter and classify the received datasets. Then we will use the processed data to build an interactive environmental real-time map of Morocco. This should help finding out potential correlations between pollutants and emitting sources.
New project to protect critical European transport infrastructure from extreme events
The INFRARISK project will develop ‘toolkits’ to manage the risk to critical infrastructure from natural hazards, funded by a €2.8M grant from the European 7th Framework Programme. Engineers, mathematicians, physicists, and social anthropologists will develop methods to identify risks from earthquakes, landslides, and flooding, harmonise how systems are tested and inform future decisions leading to safer building choices.
While extreme natural hazards such as earthquakes and floods are rare in Europe, just one such incident can have a devastating impact on critical infrastructure systems, causing a cascade down through their complicated interrelationships – for example, floods may damage roads and prevent rescue operations. Already this year, the Balkan region suffered flooding affecting more than 3million people.

In 2013, the establishment of a European Border Surveillance System (‘EUROSUR’) by the Council of the European Union (EU) deemed necessary in order to strengthen the exchange of information and the operational cooperation between national authorities of EU Member States as well as with the FRONTEX.
EUROSUR will provide those authorities and FRONTEX with the infrastructure and tools needed to improve their situational awareness and reaction capability at the external borders, for the purpose of detecting, preventing and combating illegal immigration and cross-border crime and contributing to ensuring the protection and saving the lives of migrants.
The EU judged that the establishment of EUROSUR, could not be sufficiently achieved by Member States alone but it would be better achieved at Union level. EUROSUR is a decentralised system of (existing) systems, which is established gradually in three phases.
EUROSUR’s PHASE 2deals with research and development to improve the performance of surveillance tools and sensors (e.g. satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles), and developing a common application of surveillance tools.
This paper examines the state of play of the EU’s Common Application of Surveillance Tools and the challenges that lie ahead for its full implementation.
The Global Change Research Network in European Mountains (MRI Europe)
In the Alpine Space project COMUNIS (co-financed by the ERDF), eleven partners from Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Slovenia aim at facilitating the strategic steering of commercial location development (CLD) on the inter-municipal level. To this end, the location profile, the degree of inter-municipal cooperation, and the framework conditions for commercial land use management were examined in eight pilot areas. On the basis of best practice examples and theoretical models, strategy options of inter-municipal CLD were
developed and examined for applicability with regard to the situation and development
objectives of the pilot areas.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

in Brief
The Copernicus programme is a cornerstone of the European
Union’s efforts to monitor the Earth and its many ecosystems,
whilst ensuring that its citizens are prepared and protected in the
face of crises and natural or man-made disasters.
The Copernicus programme places a world of insight about our
planet at the disposal of citizens, public authorities and policy
makers, scientists, entrepreneurs and businesses
on a full, free and open basis.

Introduction
The Copernicus programme entered its operational phase with the launch
of Sentinel-1A in 2014 and its governance is based on the Copernicus
Regulation adopted the same year which establishes the Commission as the
Programme manager owning the infrastructure and data rights on behalf of
the Union;
Copernicus Services are based on information from a dedicated constellation
of satellites, known as “Sentinels”, as well as tens of third-party satellites
known as “contributing space missions”, complemented by “in situ”
(meaning local or on-site) measurement data;
By making the vast majority of its data, analyses, forecasts and maps
freely available and accessible, Copernicus contributes towards the
development of new innovative applications and services, tailored to the
needs of specific groups of users, which touch on a variety of economic and
cultural or recreational activities, from urban planning, sailing and insurance
to archaeology.

Sentinels (EO satellites) are currently
being developed.
They will consist of six different families.
Sentinels-1A and -2A have already been
launched and are providing data.
The ground segment, which is spread
geographically, relies on existing national public and private facilities
along with international agencies with the total infrastructure being
coherently managed.

Land Monitoring Service
The Copernicus Land Monitoring Service provides
geographical information on land cover and on
variables related, for instance, to the vegetation state
or the water cycle. It supports applications in a variety
of domains such as spatial planning, forest
management, water management, agriculture
and food security, etc. The service became
operational in 2012. It consists of three main
components:
A global component;
A Pan-European component;
A local component.

Marine Environment Monitoring Service
The Marine Environment Monitoring Service
provides regular and systematic reference information
on the state of the physical oceans and regional
seas. The observations and forecasts produced by the
service support all marine applications. For instance,
the provision of data on currents, winds and sea ice
help to improve ship routing services, offshore
operations or search and rescue operations, thus
contributing to marine safety.
The service is delivered in an operational mode
since 1st May 2015. The products delivered by the
service today are provided free of charge to
registered users.

Atmosphere Monitoring Service
The Atmosphere Monitoring Service
provides continuous data and information
on atmospheric composition. It describes
the current situation; forecasts the
situation a few days ahead; and analyses
consistently retrospective data records for
recent years.
The service supports many applications
in a variety of domains including health,
Environmental monitoring, renewables
energies, meteorology, and climatology.
The service is now fully operational.

Emergency Management Service
The Emergency Management Service provides
all actors involved in the management of natural
disasters, man-made emergency situations,
and humanitarian crises with timely and accurate
geo-spatial information derived from satellite
remote sensing and completed by available in situ or
open data sources.
Mapping can support all phases of the Emergency
Management cycle: preparedness, prevention, disaster
risk reduction, emergency response and recovery.
The service is provided free of charge and it can
be activated only by authorised users.
Started operations on 1st April 2012.

Security Service
Services for Security applications support
European Union activities in the context of policies
such as the Common Foreign and Security
Policy (CFSP), the Common Security and
Defence Policy (CSDP) and the protection of EU
external borders as established by the EUROSUR
regulation.
Three application areas have been identified
in which Copernicus can play a role and portfolio of
services and modus operandi defined:
Border Surveillance;
Maritime Surveillance;
Support to the External Action of the EU.

Climate Change Service
The Copernicus Climate Change Service responds
to environmental and societal challenges associated
with human-induced climate Changes.
The service will give access to information for
monitoring and predicting climate change and will
help support adaptation and mitigation.
Benefits from a sustained network of in situ
and satellite-based observations, re-analysis of
the Earth climate and modelling scenarios, based on a
variety of climate projections.
Under implementation, the operational capacity
of the service will be reached during the third year of operations (i.e. 2017/18)
and it will be preceded by a pre-operational stage.

Economic and Societal value added
17
Copernicus constitutes a cornerstone of the broader EU space
and industrial policy, and will generate significant economic and social
benefits.
Driver for research, innovation and the creation
of highly skilled jobs, with direct and indirect benefits
for the EU economy.
The bottom-line can be summarised as follows:
Cost per EU citizen = ~€1,07/year;
Every €1 spent generates a return of ~€3,2;
Expected minimum financial benefits by 2030 of ~€30 bn. on Europe's GDP;
An estimated 50.000 jobs will be maintained or created over the next 15 years.

Big Data Challenge
23
Efforts will have to be devoted on setting up a flexible environment,
capable of:
collecting existing assets and coordinating synergic initiatives,
and
opening up possibilities for the future, this meaning establishing
an architecture that will allow for integration of innovative tools
as long as these are developed in the area of dissemination,
archiving and computing technologies.
These possibilities will have to provide for conservation of past
data, information and processes, as well as exploit forward
looking technologies as much as possible.
24. Space30/09/2015, Brussels
Two complementary approaches:
Bringing the data to the user:
web portal, mirroring of the data – high bandwidth connection
needed (e.g. Géant)
Bringing the user to the data:
cloud computing ('hosted computing') – upgrade of the Copernicus
core ground segment needed
Provide the conditions for the best exploitation of Sentinel and
Copernicus service information by the European downstream services
for the benefit of EU citizens

Conclusion
25
It is quite evident that can produce significant
socioeconomic, as well as strategic and political benefits for
Europe.
Due to its services decision makers and citizens today are provided
with better, more complete, consistent, timely and reliable
information.
It puts Europe at the forefront globally in having credible space
systems and initiatives, which provide bargaining power and more
successful implementation of external policies in areas such as
climate change mitigation and adaptation; humanitarian aid;
conflict prevention and sustainable development in Europe
and beyond.
