e-shape is a unique project that brings together decades of public investment in Earth Observation and in cloud capabilities into services for the decision-makers, the citizens, the industry and the researchers.
|
|
|
|
|
e-shape aspires to provide significant impetus to activities that will enable and accelerate a breakthrough in the European EO sector and the downstream markets that benefit from EO services.
|
|
|
|
|
e-shape allows Europe to position itself as global force in EO through leveraging Copernicus, making use of existing European capacities and improving user uptake of the data from GEO assets.

e-shape co-design, towards user-centered services in EO context.
e-shape aims at developing EO-based services in a user-centric approach. Co-design is used as a toolbox to support the development of the 27 services. Existing co-design methods focusing on user-centricity tend to consider that it is all about involving users in the process.
However, in the Earth Observation context, developing services based on this type of data is particularly challenging, because of the high level of technical expertise needed, and the heterogeneity of actors to be involved. Because of these specificities, a co-design method specific to Earth Observation context is being developed within e-shape, based on recent advances of design theory. Two distinct phases have been especially set up:
Phase 1: a thorough initial diagnosis process to identify the actors to be involved and the types of problems to be solved;
Phase 2: the implementation of specific actions based on this diagnosis. To support these phases, specific tools have been developed based on an analytical framework.
They aim at providing a clear vision of the service, and the strategies to be adopted to develop and upscale the service in a sustainable way. The first version of this framework has been submitted to the scientific community through a communication paper:https://hal-mines-paristech.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-02168086/document
e-shape pilots will soon engage with the second phase of e-shape co-design. The method will be continuously updated to take into account lessons learned from these implementations. In the future, the method will also be valuable for onboard pilots, providing them with tested tools to develop their services in a sustainable way.

e-shape is pleased to announce its participation at this year’s GEO Week 2019 / Ministerial Summit held at Canberra, Australia, 4-9th November, that will unite tycoons from different scientific areas.
The main goal is to bring together diverse people and cultures to support and sustain our planet and communities. Ministers from GEO’s 105 Member governments, business leaders, heads of international non-profits and passionate experts will meet at the largest and most influential event of the year.
GEO Week 2019 will focus on accelerating the delivery of GEO’s Strategic Plan and will bring the GEO community together to scale-up the impact of Earth observations.
