CENTAUR 2nd Workshop
\nsonia<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On 25 February, the CENTAUR project will hold its second workshop in Brussels<\/strong>, marking an important milestone and the culmination of three years of research, development, and operational validation at the crossroads of Earth Observation, AI, and crisis management. The event will bring together experts and decision-makers from European institutions, implementing agencies, research organisations, and industry to assess CENTAUR\u2019s results and their significance for the future evolution of\u00a0the\u00a0Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS)<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Copernicus Security Service in Support of EU External and Security Actions (SESA)<\/a>.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n

CENTAUR\u00a0innovation lies in transforming vast streams of EO data into actionable early-warning\u00a0indicators\u00a0addressing two of today\u2019s most pressing and\u00a0worldwide\u00a0challenges: urban flood risk and food and water insecurity. Through monitoring of densely populated areas and predictive indicators of resource scarcity, CENTAUR enables earlier intervention,\u00a0before hazards escalate into full-scale crises.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Participants will gain first-hand insight into how CENTAUR\u2019s outputs integrate within the wider Copernicus ecosystem and contribute to the\u00a0Earth Observation Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA)<\/a>.\u00a0Crucially, the workshop marks the point at which CENTAUR\u2019s validated concepts are placed in the hands of those who need them most: civil protection authorities, emergency managers, and humanitarian actors working in increasingly complex risk environments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the project approaches the end of its current lifecycle, the Brussels workshop also looks ahead. By\u00a0convening\u00a0scientific experts, industry leaders, and policymakers, CENTAUR\u00a0wants\u00a0to catalyse discussion on the long-term uptake and scaling of its innovations,\u00a0ensuring that the progress achieved over the past three years becomes a lasting\u00a0component\u00a0of Europe\u2019s crisis management and early-warning capabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Registration\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The workshop will take place in person on 25 February, from 09:00 to 17:00 CET, at the Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA), Place Charles Rogier 16, 1210 Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, Brussels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Participation is aimed at professionals working in EO, AI, climate security, civil protection, and emergency and humanitarian response.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Registration is mandatory to ensure access to the building and to accommodate any specific requirements. Interested participants are invited to register via the official EU Survey portal no later than 16 February<\/strong>: https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/eusurvey\/runner\/CENTAURworkshop25feb<\/strong><\/a>\u202f<\/strong><\/p>\n
