EARSC is now a GEO Participating Organization!

“This is a critical step forward in GEO's efforts to collaborate with the private sector in a mutually beneficial way. EARSC has invested time and energy in ensuring good communication of issues related to Earth observation products and services with the GEO community and it is most fitting that EARSC should be a major partner in this important development” - Robert Samors, Senior External Relations Manager at the GEO Secretariat.

EARSC is a partner of EU framework programs such ConnectinGEO and GEOCradle which support the activities of GEO. In the capacity of a Participating Organization to GEO, this is the next step for EARSC to support the GEO objectives to engage more with the private sector.

As a GEO Participating Organization, EARSC will share opinions on industry views at the European level, exchange documents of common interest and cooperate on projects or promotional activities where relevant. Work is underway to identify concrete GEO/EARSC collaborations and opportunities for periodic exchanges will be organized.
