Poised to generate significant services for the ultimate benefit of all European citizens!
Our mission is to introduce new perspectives on space-based information and provide authoritative services by mapping the needs of the users, making the most of our data, support decision-making and address priorities of stakeholders.
Our vision is to establish and maintain a European Excellence Centre for cutting edge remote sensing science, and for developing operational applications based on mature research outputs.
Worldwide efforts have been stepped up to take action on climate change and it is in this sense that the European Union and the International Community have taken coordinated actions.
In this context, the BEYOND Centre develops research and supports the role and mandate of civil protection, locally and internationally, with a focus on mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery by delivering accurate information through Earth Observation.
