SECURE SOCIETIES
The BigDataEurope approach30/09/2015

2. EU Satellite Centre
 Agency of the EU Council
 HQ in Torrejón de Ardoz (ES)
 Primary User of EO Satellite Data
 Foreseen role of Service Provider
To support the decision making and actions of the EU
in the field of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP)
by providing products and services resulting from
the exploitation of relevant space assets and collateral data

3. Big Data @ SatCen

data lifecycle on transversal issues (e.g. Big Data, Data Science, VREs)

4. H2020 Secure Societies
 Protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens
o Undertaking the R&I activities needed to protect our citizens, society and economy as well as
our infrastructures and services, our prosperity, political stability and wellbeing.

o to enhance the resilience of our society against natural and man-made disasters, ranging from
the development of new crisis management tools to communication interoperability, and to
develop novel solutions for the protection of critical infrastructure;
o to fight crime and terrorism ranging from new forensic tools to protection against explosives;
o to improve border security, ranging from improved maritime border protection to supply chain
security and to support the Union's external security policies including through conflict
