Vasilis Baousis from ECMWF introduced his view of the project with both the use of data from CAMS and the use of the DIAS WEKEO where ECMWF is a partner with Eumetsat and Mercator. Vasilis also cited Destination Earth as another future resource and source of tools and data. Vangelis also pointed out the link with the AI4EO project through ECMWF which is driving their first challenge launched by this other project.

Michele Lazzini Lazzarini from the EU SatCen mentions there are several connections with security and climate that are important domains that security is an important domain with possible applications connected to other sectors. For this, EU SatCen is currently drafting along with ECMWF to shape the its calls based on these security needs and the interaction with other sectors (e.g. climate).

Vangelis summarised with a reminder that funds are available! The first calls will be launched in June/July with a deadline to respond by end-September. The 6 selected projects, each for up to €150k, will be launched in January 2022. Good luck to everyone!
