| Summary: | IASON Project has the ultimate goal to establish a permanent and sustainable Network of scientific and non-scientific institutions,
stakeholders and private sector enterprises belonging in the EU and third countries located in two significant areas: The
Mediterranean and the Black Sea regions. The main focal points of the project will be the usage and application of Earth
Observation (EO) in the following topics:
<br><br>
– climate change<br>
– resource efficiency<br>
– raw materials management
<br><br>
IASON aims to build on the experiences gained by 5 FP7 funded projects, OBSERVE, enviroGRIDS, GEONETCab, EGIDA, and
BalkanGEONet. All of the above projects focused on enhancing EO capacities, knowledge and technology in the EU and in
neighborhood countries. During their execution time they managed to establish links with a critical mass of research institutions,
organizations, public organizations, stakeholders, and policy makers in the Balkan region, the Mediterranean, and the Black Sea
Basin. IASON intends to create the proper conditions for enhancing knowledge transfer capacity building, and market opportunities
in using EO applications and mechanisms in specific research fields that are addressing climate actions resource efficiency and raw
materials management. |
