Between May 30 and June 1 2018 the Universitat Jaume I of Castellón hosts a workshop and a project meeting of the European project Erasmus + "EO4GEO: Toward an innovative strategy for skills development and capacity building in the space geo-information sector supporting Copernicus User Uptake"1 ([www.eo4geo.eu](http://www.eo4geo.eu)). The meeting is organized by the Spanish project partner, the [GEOTEC Research Group of the Universitat Jaume I](http://geotec.uji.es/), and will bring together experts from all over Europe and the United States.

According to recent reports, the geographic information industry (GI) is one of the sectors with the highest growth in the market, which implies a great demand for professionals. The same happens for the Earth Observation (EO) sector, which is also expanding. The increase of launch of commercial satellites means more data, more services to offer and more experts involved2.3.

The project, which is now in its first steps (preparation of the skills strategy of professionals in the space and geospatial sectors), aims to identify the gaps and shortages between the GI / EO training offer and the industry demand. To this end, surveys have been designed aimed at those who prepare the training offer, as well as at companies and industries that demand professionals with these specific profiles (<http://www.eo4geo.eu/surveys/>). The surveys will be available until May 16, 2018.

This workshop, the first of a series that will take place every six months, will discuss the intermediate findings of the survey on the demand for professional profiles, and will provide a general description of the results of the survey on the offer of EO / GI training. It will also serve as a starting point for the next step of the project, the development of an integrated IT platform and collaboration tools that will support individual professionals and related institutions alike.

The workshop will gather around 50-60 experts from these sectors with different professional profiles and perspectives on the subject. Project partners, invited experts, end users, representatives of the Copernicus program and stakeholders, both in the industry and in training environments, will discuss the results of these surveys. Discussion panels will provide a contribution to a deliverable on the demand for education and spatial / geospatial training, and will evaluate the (possible) shortage of skills, gaps and imbalances detected.
