Join us on June 11th for PROTECT’s Final Event, held in Brussels as part of the EXPANDEO 2024, organized by EARSC. This full-day event is a celebration and culmination of the PROTECT project’s journey, supported by funding from the Horizon Europe Framework Programme.

This essential gathering aims to promote the Key Exploitable Results of the PROTECT project, showcasing innovative achievements in Earth Observation and climate services. Attendees will engage in reflective discussions on the project’s journey, examining both the successes and challenges encountered during the preparation process to a joint Pre-Commercial Procurement project (HORIZON-CL6-2024-GOVERNANCE-01-5). Furthermore, the event will host forward-looking discussions on the future of Innovation Procurement instruments. These dialogues are crucial for evolving Earth Observation technologies and developing climate services that effectively fit for the needs of the public demand.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a pivotal event shaping the future of Earth Observation and climate adaptation in Europe.
