SMURBS’ partners participated in the EIFFEL Kick Off Meeting, June 2021

SMURBS’  partners,participated  among 18 more from 8 European countries, in the virtual H2020 EIFFEL’s project Kick Off Meeting, held on 22 June 2021.

EIFFEL (REVEALING THE ROLE OF GEOSS AS THE DEFAULT DIGITAL PORTAL FOR BUILDING CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION & MITIGATION APPLICATIONS), a new project coordinated by ICCS and funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme  is a game changer in the domain of climate change adaptation and mitigation by harvesting the benefits of the GEOSS data. The project will offer to the Earth Observation community the ground-breaking capacity of exploiting existing GEOSS datasets and will also build upon prior knowledge, with minimal new data collection activities. Added-value services interoperable with GEOSS will be designed, using cognitive search and metadata augmentation tools based on Artificial Intelligence, including Natural Language Processing. These tools will leverage advanced cognitive features to extract meaningful information from and enrich GEOSS metadata.
