  1. The GEOSS Science & Technology Stakeholder Network–Workshop Goals Michael Nyenhuis Hans-Peter Plag

  2. GEOSS S&T Roadmap and EGIDA • The S&T Roadmap supports the Strategic Targets: • “Ensure full interaction and engagement of relevant science and technology communities into GEOSS.” • Identifies concrete activities to advance the scientific and technological content of GEOSS to ensure that GEO has access to scientific and technological advice • Two lines of action • Actively engaging and incorporating science and technology participants in the development of GEOSS • Creating incentives and promoting GEO in the S&T communities

  3. GEOSS S&T Roadmap and EGIDA • EGIDA FP7: Coordination and Support Action, co-funded by the European Commission; 2010 – 2012 • Project goal, inter alia: • Support broader implementation and effectiveness of the GEOSS Science & Technology Roadmap • EGIDA Stakeholder Network: • Provide a link between the EGIDA project and the broad European and international S&T community • Enhance information exchange, knowledge creation, and sharing good practices • Basis for sustained continuation of European engagement in GEOSS beyond the project lifetime

  4. GEOSS S&T Stakeholder Network • EGIDA Stakeholder Network workshop 2011, Bonn: • To continue the Network as “GEOSS Science & Technology Stakeholder Network” throughout and beyond the project lifetime • Communication platform focused on S&T as they relate to GEOSS and the societal benefits of Earth observations • Workshops are organized to assemble an open and flexible Network • Goals: • Facilitate the science and research needed to build GEOSS • Promote GEOSS in S&T communities • Facilitate the science and technology needed to utilize the benefits of Earth observations • GEO Work Plan Task ID-03: Science & Technology in GEOSS

  5. Workshop Motivation From the “10 Year Implementation Plan” accepted in 2005 by the Ministerial Summit in Brussels: “GEOSS is a step toward addressing the challenges articulated by United Nations Millennium Declaration and the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, including the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. GEOSS will also further the implementation of international environmental treaty obligations.”

  6. Workshop Goals What do we want to achieve? - Review the focus of GEO on support for Millennium Development Goals, Sustainable Development Goals, Future Earth Initiative, global sustainability research in general, … - Identify whether, and how, GEOSS Strategic Targets need to be aligned to the needs of global sustainability research, … - Provide a voice to global sustainability research communities in the Post-2015 GEO discussion. How do we want to achieve this? - A Workshop Declaration with Recommendations; - An Action Plan for the next three years; - A document providing input for the Post-2015 GEO discussion. Draft documents are available at http://www.geo-tasks.org/workshops/2012_Bonn and will be updated daily.
