  5. What the project is about Create conditions for sustainable economic development Through the increased use of Earth observation products and services For environmental applications Effective use of Earth observation for decision-making Management of economic and sustainable development processes

EOPOWER builds on six FP7 projects GEONetCabGEO Network for Capacity Building • BalkanGEONetTowards Inclusion of Balkan Countries into Global Earth Observation Initiatives • OBSERVEStrengthening and development of Earth Observation activities for the Environment in the Balkan area • SEOCAGEO capacity building initiative in Central Asia • EGIDACoordinating Earth and Environmental cross-disciplinary projects to promote GEOSS • enviroGRIDSBuilding Capacity for a Black Sea Catchment Observation and Assessment System supporting Sustainable Development

  7. What we will do: • Roadshowactivities to promote the increased use of EO products and services for environmental applications • Create a portfolio of potential EO applications for economic development and environmental management • Enhancement of the resource facility on capacity building in the GEO web portal (Cooperation with CEOS). Workshop “Bringing GEOSS services into practice” • Establishment of local focal points (nodes) that actively promote and provide capacity building on the use of EO for environmental applications effectively and at low-cost • Explore the establishment of a high-level forum of stakeholders • Establishment of a central feedback node

  8. How will we do it ? Southern Africa French-speaking Africa Czech Republic & Slovakia Poland & Ukraine Turkey and Turkish-speaking countries Black Sea Region Balkan Region Latin America International organizations

  9. Pilot studies For sustainable contribution to GEOSS and other relevant international initiatives Armenia

  10. Pilot study in Armenia • Making a survey of available EO datasets in Armenia, publish them in a Spatial Data infrastructure (SDI) and register them to GEOSS (linked to FP7 EcoArm2ERA project) • Identifying stakeholders and infrastructures, and moving toward a National SDI. • Setting up GeoNetCast (and associated capacity building) at the Center for Ecological and Noosphere Studies (CENS) • Help CENS become a teaching centreof the workshop "Bringing GEOSS services into practice" • Toward GEO Membership
