User Consultation Platform 2022
The annual EUSPA User Consultation Platform (UCP) is a space where users from a range of market segments present their needs and requirements and help shape the evolution of the EU Space Programme and its services. New entry for the 2022 edition, the UCP included other Copernicus users in addition to the classic EGNSS and GOVSATCOM Governmental Satellite Communications ones.
This year users from 7 different market segments meet to discuss their needs for applications relying on Location, Navigation, Timing and Earth Observation.
The Consultation is engaging with user communities, industries, service providers and R&D, bringing together expertise and insights from different applications, sharing experiences, and strengthening a EU network of innovators that can strive only by working together. Most of the work of the UCP was carried out during 3-4 October, in 7 parallel panel sessions grouping users by market segment: Aviation & Drones, Renewable Energy and Raw Materials, Consumer Solutions (Health and Tourism), Infrastructure, Maritime & Fisheries, Emergency Management and Humanitarian Aid, Insurance & Finance. During these sessions several topics were addressed including an update on the user requirements, synergies with Copernicus, testing campaigns, main market trends, evolution of Galileo, EGNOS, Copernicus and R&D. Here below you can find the results of the 2022 edition of the UCP, which were presented during the 2022 European Space Week, and will feed the future release of the Reports on User needs and Requirements.
