iason
The IASON project builds on the experiences gained by 5 FP7 funded projects; OBSERVE, EGIDA, enviroGRIDS, GEONetCab and BalkanGEONet. These projects focused on enhancing EO capacities, knowledge and technology in the Broader EU Region. During those projects links have been established with a critical mass of research institutions, (public) organizations, stakeholders and policy makers in the Balkan region, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea Basin.
The ultimate goal of the IASON project is the establishment of a permanent and sustainable network of scientific and non-scientific institutions, stakeholders and private sector enterprises located in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea regions. IASON intends to create the proper conditions for knowledge transfer, capacity building and sustainable economic development through the use of EO applications and mechanisms in specific research fields that are addressing climate actions, research and innovation to improve resource efficiency and raw materials management.
