INTERGEO Expo and Conference 2025

Inspiration for a smarter world

ENVRINNOV project panel:

Connecting Environmental Data & Geospatial Solutions: From Research to Action

11:10 AM - 12:10 PM

Main Stage

1. Panel Discussion (30 min)
Speakers:

Jaana Bäck (eLTER RI) – Long-term ecosystem data for geospatial applications
Tuukka Petäjä (ACTRIS ERIC) – Atmospheric data & remote sensing synergies
Leo Rivier (ICOS ERIC) – Carbon flux data validation
Host: Mariana Salgado (ICOS ERIC)

Scope:
Three experts from Environmental Research Infrastructures[ES1] (ENVRI) will address:

What ENVRIs offer: Open-data principles, infrastructure diversity (eg, ICOS's flux towers, ACTRIS's aerosol data, eLTER's ecosystem monitoring).
Data and project showcase: Live demo of key geospatial-relevant datasets and current innovation projects
Innovation gaps: How geodesy/geoinformation communities can leverage ENVRI data beyond academia (eg, commercial apps).

Key Quote:
"ENVRIs are treasure troves of validation data—but we need your help to unlock their full potential for society."

2. Interactive Session (30 min)
Format:
Step 1: Audience brainstorms one downstream use case for ENVRI data (e.g., urban planning, precision agriculture).
Step 2: Panellists give rapid feedback on feasibility/data access.
Step 3: General Discussion
