Continued National Coordination Priorities + Actions

- 450+ members

- 4 Industry Rep. Groups

- All national + state agencies

5 national priorities of the Planto build Australia’s EO capacity

Outcomes: 2017-2018• Implementation from – 2017 • EO in Research Infrastructure • GA – Digital Earth Australia• EO as part of Space Agency

Australian EO Community response to opportunities and risks?

Priorities:

1. Connection and Coordination — establishing a consistent vision within the Australian EO community, and delivering processes for internal coordination to ensure effective collaboration, resource use, and advocacy for EO in Australia and internationally.

2. Securing Australia’s Role in the International EO Community — Australia must be an essential component of the international EO capability, delivering benefits to the international community and securing our access to and involvement in international EO programmes.

3. Infrastructure and People — developing, supporting and sustaining a wealth of trained professionals and quality infrastructure to enable world-leading EO research, innovation and application development.

4. Access to EO Data and Services — ensuring all Australian EO producers and users can easily and reliably access the data and services they need.

5. Generating Value — strengthening end-user engagement to enable delivery of high quality EO products and services suited to user needs, and supporting commercial development of EO applications.

ProposedEO Capability

Current Situation - 2017 = EO research infrastructure is partially funded by NCRIS, C’wlth agencies, and institutions. It is not coordinated and does not provide consistent and coordinated continental coverage required across all environments for Australia to make the most use of the EO data it accesses.

Proposed 2017-2027 = Build on existing funded instruments, sites and networks, by adding a coordination and collaboration capability that will identify and fill gaps for calibration and validation of EO in all environments. This will provide a step-change for Australia’s research communities’ ability to use EO data and sustain an develop new products and services for use in government, industry and science
