DORIS_net is a two-year FP7 project launched on 1 February 2010. The Downstream Observatory will facilitate links between both regional and European level GMES stakeholders. It is organised by regions that are members of NEREUS (Network of European Regions Using Space Technologies) with the aim of fostering downstream activities and links with regions.
EADS Astrium
In a joint project with EADS Astrium, G-STEP has provided information on the commercial potential for data streams collected from a new satellite system - AstroSAR-Lite. Dr K Tansey and Professor H Baltzer from the University of Leicester Geography Department are working with Ian Encke of EADS Astrium to explore the potential of this SAR forest monitoring system.
NEREUS
G-STEP collaborates with NEREUS (Network of European Regions Using Space Technologies) to utilise outreach opportunities in Europe.
NEREUS President Alain Bénéteau outlines how the Network’s activities can facilitate dialogue with policy makers and communication between regional users and providers in this statement.
