Last October, the Institute of New Image Technologies (INIT) of the University Jaume I of Castelló, became a new member of Copernicus Academy, an initiative promoted by the European Commission and integrated into the European Strategy for Space.

The Copernicus Academy network was created to close the gap between competencies and the use of data, create professional development initiatives and allow the use of data from the Copernicus program in new sectors. Connects universities, research institutions, business schools, private and non-profit organizations, as well as emerging and research-oriented SMEs, both within and outside of Europe.

The INIT will contribute to the dissemination of the Copernicus road map, through the implementation of various activities. The first one, organized by the GEOTEC research group, will take place next Wednesday, November 14, during the celebration of the World Day of Geographic Information Systems (GISDay 2018) in the hall of the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences.

The space Flagship programs in Europe, Copernicus (Earth Observation Program of the European Union) and EGNOS / Galileo (European Global Satellite Navigation System) have been fully implemented and provide huge amounts of data that can be transformed into useful products for society. A complete ecosystem of tools, technologies and services is being developed around these programs, and many related initiatives are spreading throughout Europe.

As explained by Philippe Brunet, director of Space Policy, Copernicus and Defense of the European Commission, in the last bulletin Copernicus Observer “to support innovation, and by consequence the creation of jobs and economic growth is one of the objectives of the Copernicus programme. In this regard, the best way to maximise the societal and economic potential of Copernicus is to put the data in the hands of as many users, organisations or individuals as possible, so that innovative ideas and solutions can emerge. Our data policy is an enabler, a trigger of economic development, and a direct contribution to European and global welfare and sustainable development”.

The GEOTEC research group, on behalf of the Institute of New Image Technologies, seeks to have a role in the Copernicus ecosystem, offering its geospatial technology know-how and taking advantage of our extensive experience in higher education. Through our participation, INIT seeks to maximize the potential of its human capital, extend its network of contacts at European level and look for brighter opportunities for the entire UJI community.
