Evaluation of the UK's participation in the Copernicus Programme www.gov.uk/government/p... research commissioned by DSIT Early findings from the interim evaluation of the UK's participation in the Copernicus Earth Observation programme since rejoining in 2024 #remotesensing #openscience #opendata

Moreover, the key benefit of participation from a data use perspective may lie in hedging against the high impact (though hypothetical) longer-term risk of changes to the EU’s free and open access data policy. Under this scenario, Expansion Missions especially would be more vulnerable due to their more limited historical precedent for open data. Previous studies have estimated the overall socio economic benefits of Copernicus data to be valued at around €67–131 billion for European society. While this study focuses only on the additional benefit that formal participation brings, loss of access to Copernicus open data was a key concern for UK stakeholders under a withdrawal scenario. Although there is no indication that the EU would change its open data policy, this scenario could plausibly result in lost benefits of tens of billions in value. With the volume and quality of Copernicus data and products growing, UK dependence is only increasing. UK participation ensures the long-term security of comprehensive and resilient access to one of the world's most advanced EO systems.
