The European Commission (DG RTD and JRC) is launching its third open call for the development of innovative applications (mobile or web-based) using openly available or crowd-generated data in different domains addressing citizens’ needs. ENoLL has been past evaluators of the MYGEOSS calls and the competition offers great opportunities to developpers working with open data.

The pool of open data for use includes but is not limited to the Data Collection of Open Resources for Everyone (GEOSS Data-CORE) made available by the Group on Earth observation (GEO) through the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), as well as open data from EU-funded projects.

The focus of this call will be on developing applications that will provide users with quantitative or qualitative information on the changing environment, e.g. change detection in climate, biodiversity, water bodies, coastal areas, built environment, green areas, forestry, agricultural land and crops, and atmospheric composition.

Any legal entity from the 28 EU member states plus the countries associated to Horizon 2020 can participate. The best applicants will be awarded with up to € 13.500 to develop the applications further.

Deadline for submitting application concept, prototype, or user story (e.g. as document, slide presentation or video): 8 April
