SATELLITE  DATA  FOR  THE  BENEFIT  OF  SOCIETY

The EU's Framework Partnership Agreement on Copernicus User Uptake (FPCUP) project is making a breakthrough with 219 actions to enhance the use of Copernicus data. Today, there are critical challenges in the areas of Natural Disasters, Health, and Agriculture. Our upcoming APPATHON offers a unique opportunity. By using satellite data from the DIAS Platform, participants can create practical applications or products for these sectors.
It's about using space data to make a real difference on Earth.

COPERNICUS

Copernicus is the European Union's Earth observation programme, looking at our planet and its environment to benefit all European citizens. It offers information services that draw from satellite Earth Observation and in-situ (non-space) data. European citizens, ranging from policy makers, researchers, commercial to private users, as well as the global scientific community can benefit in many ways from the data and information provided by Copernicus. Indeed, Copernicus supports a variety of applications in several non-space domains, which potentially impact businesses and organisations in day-today activities and operations.

The EU-funded FPCUP (Framework Partnership Agreement on Copernicus User Uptake) aims at increasing the number of Copernicus users and applications derived from Copernicus data or products by different actions. The project is lead by the German Aerospace Center (DLR Space Agency). 50 partners from 23 European countries are part of the consortium comprising a broad expertise on national and international Copernicus user uptake. In Greece, the FPCUP Actions are being implemented by the Operational Unit BEYOND/IAASARS/NOA and PRAXI Network/ FORTH.
