The #EUGW team had a blast at @esa's #LPS25 this week❗

We are grateful for the insightful discussions, new connections, & shared passion for #EO and land monitoring 🌱

A big thank you to everyone who attended our presentation, we appreciate your interest & enthusiasm🌾

[EU Grassland Watch @EU_Grasslands]

At @esa's #LPS25, our colleague Jan Misurec (@Gisat) discusses #EUGW's 3⃣ thematic components/characterisation:
🟢 Grassland Type
🟢 Grassland Management
🟢 Grassland Productivity

At #LPS25, today’s session on the Nature Restoration Regulation stressed the need for co-design, standardisation, and interoperable platforms to support monitoring 🛰️ & reporting

These are the challenges we aim to address through the #EUGW platform🌱

At today’s #LPS25 afternoon poster session, Victor Verhaert from @VITObelgium was kind enough to walk us through his work on managing large-scale workflows using #openEO.

A smart approach to scaling processing for platforms like #EUGW.

#Grasslands cover 40% of the Earth's surface and support many species, including this endangered European hamster.

They also store carbon, prevent erosion, and support agriculture.

#EUGW is developing a platform to support grassland conservation.

At the start of the Grassland Fishbowl session at #CLMSGA2025, @DrGeoffSmith introduced #EUGW and highlighted the need for novel EO-based 🛰️products and services to better monitor the state of Europe’s 🇪🇺 grasslands 🌱

[EU Grassland Watch @EU_Grasslands]

Come meet us in the Grassland Fishbowl 🐟 session at 13:30 in Room Synergia 3⃣ at the #CLMSGA2025

We'll be participating in a discussion on how Earth Observation 🛰️ can support grassland monitoring, conservation and EU 🇪🇺 policy❗️

[EU Grassland Watch @EU_Grasslands]

We’re back at #CLMSGA2025 for Day 2⃣ here in #Kraków 🇵🇱

Looking forward to another full day of exchanges and insights❗️

[EU Grassland Watch @EU_Grasslands]

Very interesting introduction to the Global Land Cover product from Fred Stolle of @WorldResources at #CLMSGA2025:

💬 “The world is changing. Satellite 🛰️ data is very important for helping us understand and manage these changes.”

[EU Grassland Watch @EU_Grasslands]

At the #CLMSGA2025 poster session, @DrGeoffSmith walked participants through how #EUGW moves beyond classification to describe grasslands according to 3⃣ categories:
🟢Productivity
🟢Type
🟢Management

[EU Grassland Watch @EU_Grasslands]

One of the most exciting parts of #CLMSGA2025 is spotting synergies between projects and products❗️

This new #CLMS layer 🗺️ on endangered species 🐦 and habitats in #Natura2000 areas is a perfect example

#EUGW

[EU Grassland Watch @EU_Grasslands]

During the Introductory Presentations at #CLMSGA2025, policy relevance was highlighted as a key priority for #Copernicus 🛰️ 3.0.

🌿#EUGW focuses on delivering tools that support EU 🇪🇺policy and conservation efforts on the ground 🗺️
