The EACEA (Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency) of the European Commission has selected the E04GEO project, in which GEOTEC Research Group of the Universitat Jaume I participates, within the 2017 Erasmus + SSA (Skills Alliances) competition. The call, aimed at skills development in specific professional sectors, focused on five pilot sectors, one of them "Space-Geoinformation" in which this project has been the only one that has obtained funding for four years, specifically four million of euros.

EO4GEO (Towards an innovative strategy for competence development and capacity-building in the spatial geo-information sector supporting Copernicus user uptake) brings together 26 partners from 12 countries, including academia, institutions and private companies, active in the education sector and with knowledge of space and geospatial technologies.

"The aim is to enable companies and institutions to make better use of available resources to improve the economy and mitigate environmental risks (climate change and pollution), as well as security risks such as terrorism or humanitarian emergencies," explains the Joaquin Huerta, who assures that the fact that the Castellón group is the only Spanish representative in the consortium "involves the consolidation and confirmation of the work carried out by this research team and its importance within this field".

EO4GEO aims to reduce the gap between training supply and industry demand in this sector. In this way, the project will work in a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary way, and will apply innovative solutions in its education and training actions, which will include: case-based learning scenarios; learning-by-doing; on-the-job training; the co-creation of knowledge, skills and competences, etc.

GEOTEC's contribution to the EO4GEO project will be to develop new innovative tools for the EO4GEO Platform and will also be involved in the analysis of trends, detection of sector challenges and opportunities, and in the definition and adjustment of an ontology-based approach. The UJI will also host a project meeting and a workshop, and will contribute to capacity-building and dissemination activities. It will also cooperate with the project consortium in the management, quality assurance and project evaluation activities.

The EO4GEO project will define a sustainable long-term strategy and a plan of action to bridge the gap between educational supply and sectoral demand in the space and geospatial area, taking into account current technological advances. This strategy will be implemented: creating and maintaining a body of knowledge - based on ontologies - supported by efforts made in previous projects; developing and integrating a dynamic collaborative platform with associated tools; designing and developing curriculum profiles and a rich portfolio of training modules directly usable in the context of Copernicus and other relevant programs; and conducting a series of training actions for a selected set of scenarios in three subsectors: integrated applications, smart cities and climate change.
