The User Consultation Platform (UCP) is a biennial event involving a wide range of users from 12 different market segments. It 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 will include other Copernicus users and GovSatCom users in addition to the classic EGNSS ones.
Building on the central role of users in shaping EU Space applications, the outcomes of the Consultation will help informing the decision-making process around service definition and service provision, leveraging on the unique perspective of EU Space multi-disciplinary user community.
Most of the work of the UCP will be 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 will be addressed including an update on the user requirements, testing campaigns, main market trends, evolution of Galileo/EGNOS
