earth observation - due/vae
DESCRIPTION
The Value Added Element (VAE) and Data User Element (DUE) are two programmatic components of the Earth Observation Envelope Programme (EOEP), an optional programme of the European Space Agency, currently subscribed by 20 ESA Member States. While the DUE mission focuses on the establishment of a long-term relationship between the User communities and Earth Observation in support of major environmental conventions, the VAE focuses on developing the European and Canadian EO Services Industry in growing the prospects of sustainable use of EO-based information the operations of non-EO businesses and organisations.TRANSCRIPT
