Short description

The European Space Agency (ESA) has selected Maynooth University to coordinate a Pathfinder R&D work-programme (12 months). The overall aim is to engage Public and Private organisations with a view to encourage the development of innovative data products and information services to help better manage Food Production, Carbon Emissions, Marine Resources etc. With this in mind, the ESA has set aside a fund to help companies collaborate with Irish Government Agencies in order to explore and develop novel EO data services in a number of key applications areas.
This collaboration will be in the form of a relatively short (12 month) Pathfinder project where a specific challenge has been identified by an Irish Government Agency and in co-operation with the tenderer an EO solution will be investigated with a prototype developed.
This competition will be divided into five (5) lots.
