The User Consultation Platform (UCP) is a space where users from 12 different market segments meet to discuss their needs for applications relying on Location, Navigation, Timing, Earth Observation, and Secure Telecommunications. New entry for the 2020 edition, the UCP included other Copernicus users and GOVSATCOM Governmental Satellite Communications users in addition to the classic EGNSS ones.
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 1-2 December, in 12 parallel panel sessions grouping users by market segment: Road, Agriculture & Forestry, Maritime & Ocean Monitoring, Geomatics & Urban Planning, Public Transport, Natural Disasters & Emergency Response, Critical Infrastructures, Rail, Mass market, Space Users, Aviation & Drones and Governmental. 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 (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) and R&D. Here below you can find the results of the 2020 edition of the UCP, which were presented during the 2020 European Space Week, and will feed the future release of the Reports on User needs and Requirements.
