Session 8: GEO Infrastructure & Closing session

Engage a discussion about the evolution of the GEO infrastructure, and how to integrate the various new components discussed in previous sessions.

The GEO Infrastructure needs to evolve to respond to the evolution of user needs and the emergence of new initiatives, platforms, and communities. Throughout the entire workshop, these aspects, whether technical (space and in situ data, data cubes, EO applications, clouds, licenses) or community-related (capacity development, national GEOs, youth engagement), will have been discussed and reported back to the audience for discussion, also including a focus on Regional nodes. Moreover, this new GEO infrastructure will pave the way for the transition from open data to open knowledge that GEO has started with the GEO Knowledge Hub and the adoption of the Statement on Open Knowledge.
