The European network for observing our changing planet

General Information

Within the European Research Area (ERA), ERA-PLANET constitutes an ERANET program financed through the ERANET Cofund mechanism. The overarching goal of ERA-PLANET is to strengthen the European Research Area in the domain of Earth Observation in coherence with the European participation to Group on Earth Observation (GEO) and with COPERNICUS. The expected impact is to strengthen the European leadership within the forthcoming GEO 2015-2025 Work Plan. ERA-PLANET will reinforce the interface with user communities, whose needs the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) intends to address. It will provide more accurate, comprehensive and authoritative information to policy and decision-makers in key societal benefit areas, such as smart cities and resilient societies; resource efficiency and environmental management; global changes and environmental treaties; Polar areas and natural resources. ERA-PLANET will provide advanced decision support tools and technologies aimed to better monitor our global environment and share the information and knowledge in different domain of Earth Observation. ERA-PLANET will launch a joint transnational co-funded call for proposals, with over 15 countries involved and an overall budget of up to 50 M€. The call is planned to be open to four thematic strands including all relevant disciplines and methodologies active in the field of Earth Observation in Europe.
Within the call implemented by ERA-PLANET, Hereon was successful with funding proposals for the following three projects with Hereon acting as a participant: IGOSP, iCUPE and SMURBS. The funding for Hereon given below reflects the total funding for the latter three projects, see also links to these projects at the bottom of this page.
