Achievements 6 GMES-Poland, first EC project dedicated to GMES (2003-2006) GMES institutional framework and high priority in the National Space Programme GMES Implementation plan ready Increased awareness and growing number of users Experience in EO technology development (SPECTROP hyperspectral camera for UAVs, Fourier Spectrometer for atmosphere monitoring)
6th and 7th FP projects 7 GMES-Poland (SRC) PEARL (satellite and in-situ data used for environment monitoring in ports and harbours, SRC) LIMES (external security of UE) geoland2 (SRC, IGiK) MONINA (IGiK) G-MOSAIC G-Sextant & G-Next
PECS projects 8 Flood warning system for a single catchment Carbon balance assessment for Polish forests Biebrza wetlands as an ecosystem in transition Biofuels: where to grow them and how efficient it can be VHR satellite data in spatial planning (URBANSAT)
Challanges 9 Lack of legal basis to use EO images as monitoring tools Bareer of initial investment in hardware, sofware for data processing and cost od satellite data Lack of trained employees in central and local administration (GIS and remote sensing methods) Question about sustainability of the system Difficulty of industry getting involved in Sentinels development

13 GMES services for Management of Operations, Situation Awareness and Intelligence for regional Crises support EU external relations policies with the provision of geo-spatial information in terms of security. It covers early warning and crisis prevention as well as crisis management and rapid interventions in hot spots around the world. SRC objective in the project is to develop and validate: Monitoring of (military) activities, border-crossing and related infrastructure along the borders; Long range migration routes and temporary settlements along the routes.

17 GEO Network for Capacity Building is a project with the aim to create the conditions for the improvement and increase of usage the earth observation products and services for the social benefits. SRC within the project is preparing a market report with the inventory of the current situation of the EO sector in Poland and identification of opportunities and bottlenecks for it. The project covers also educational and networking activities, such as participation and organization of the conferences, scientific picnics, trainings, meetings and cooperation with other institutions and companies in the field.
