Objective N1 Develop innovative Information
Systems for environmental management
Focus
(1) Environment Management Systems, (2)
Emerging Management Systems, covering natural and
industrial risks - New systems involving high
performance and distributed computing, advanced
model simulation, UMTS and satellite networks,
data mining, EO data, sensor networks, advanced
simulation techniques and decision support
systems - Adaptive models and tools for full
life-cycle emergency and risk management - RTD to
enhance industrial consensus on interoperability,
environmental data exchange and procedures

Data Providers Service Industry
CPAs, Administration (national, local)
Citizens Media
Operators
1- Legislative frame to be strengthened to
support indirectly appropriate products and
services brought on the market and consumed by
the relevant target groups.
2- Value added services with Environment and
Economic Impact if further developed
