Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the Consortium of our project, we are pleased to inform you
about the project EO4GEO (www.eo4geo.eu), an innovative strategy for skills
development and capacity building in the Earth observation (EO) and
Geoinformatics (GI) field, supporting Copernicus user uptake.

As you know, this sector is rapidly evolving due to technological advances,
a larger collection of open data (as Copernicus), and a broader user base.
The evolution requires the adaptation of EO/GI training for matching the
demanded skills on the market.

Considering your expertise and potential interest in the initiative, we
kindly ask you to support us in making EO/GI professionals ready for the
future!

Two surveys about supply on Training and Education and demand of skills in
the EO/GI sector, are available for your contribution at:
http://www.eo4geo.eu/surveys/


   - In case you are providing EO/GI related training courses, please
   complete the survey on the supply of training.
   https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/EO4GEO_survey_supply . The
   objective of this survey is to individuate and analyse the EO/GI training
   offer at a European/National level.
   - In case you are working in the EO/GI sector (in a private, public or
   academic organization), please complete the survey on the demand of skills
   on the market https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/EO4GEO_demand_survey
   . The objectives of the demand survey are to better understand the demands
   of current professional workforce and to highlight skills required on the
   EO/GI sector in the future.


The surveys will be open to all stakeholders until the *end of June.*

Please forward this message to your colleagues and to any organization you
might think interested in contributing to our surveys.

Many thanks in advance!
