TRANSCRIPT
EO-2 TOPIC BRIEFING FOR THE REMOTE EVALUATION
4 April 2017
Purpose
•To ensure common understanding of the WP's key elements in order to guarantee a single and harmonized approach in the evaluation, including what is addressed under which sub-criterion
•To review the evaluation criteria and provide guidelines for the interpretation
General Info
• During the briefing and remote evaluation, all evaluators must remain anonymous in order to avoid any bias
o Experts are invited to ask questions during the briefing session at [email protected]
o We will try to reply part of the questions orally in the end of the session, and send a list of all the questions and answers to you by email as soon as possible
• An independent observer is attending the topic briefing to monitor the process
• The topic briefing is recorded and will be available after the session
• The slides and the FAQs will be available at the Space 2017 Evaluation website at https://ec.europa.eu/info/h2020-compet-eo-2017-space-research_en

EO Big Data ShiftEffective access to Copernicus data & information is a sine qua noncondition.
Technical challenges are …• Sheer volume of data and information• Data at higher spatial and temporal resolutions• New Big Data techniques emerging• Bring user to data with embedded processing capabilities• Need for new approach for data curation and dissemination• Need for an effective and scalable access system• Need to cover the full data cycle needs
Activities are expected to address the adaptation of big datatechnologies to Copernicus user scenarios
Activities to include the development of tools
Take into account needs of non-experts, expert users, SMEinnovative enterprises

Actions
Copernicus context is to be kept in mind:
A guidance document has been released by the CommissionIt is important for the projects to focus on solutions and applications that are portable in different big data computing environments (scalable!)H2020 projects should be forward looking, beyond what exists at the moment in Copernicus dissemination channels. Projects should provide an added value by addressing big data platforms holding different types of EO data, amongst which Copernicus is a major source
New tools and applications needed in the context of the exploitation of Copernicus data and information in a big data environment:
• Not platform specific• Modular, and scalable• Aiming at new functions
Facilitating third party front office deployment and useProviding innovative tools for intermediary/end users…
• Demonstrator• Business model service-based rather
than software licensing based (open source licensing much favoured to ease deployment on platforms)

Research and Innovation Action (RIA)
• Action primarily consisting of activities to establish new knowledge and/or explore feasibility of new or improved technology, product, process, service or solution
− May include basic and applied research, technology development and integration, testing and validation on small-scale prototype in laboratory or simulated environment
− Projects may contain closely connected but limited demonstration or pilot activities to show technical feasibility in a near to operational environment

Process Reminders
•Evaluators: It is important to accept the proposals assigned in SEP immediately (deadline was 03/04/2017)
o In case of non-acceptance provide a justification (e.g. CoI)
•Complete the Remote Evaluation at the latest by 21/04/2017
o Necessary to allow the rapporteur to prepare a draft consensus report (CR) prior to the consensus meeting
•The draft CR will be available in the system a few days before the consensus meeting
o It is encouraged to read the draft CR prior to the meeting to prepare for the consensus discussion
