A GEO EO4SDG májusi üléséről

 Az MFTTT WG4SDG munkacsoport képviseletében részt vettem a GEO EO4SDG májusi video-értekezletén. A virtuális találkozón 27 fő vett részt.  Az ülés napirendjén volt többek között az IAEG WGGI dokumentuma "SDG Geospatial Roadmap", továbbá az UN HABITAT és a GEO EO4SDG segédlete "EO Toolkit for Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements" címmel, az idei GEO SDG Awards 2021 pályázatr és az arra való jelölés lehetősége, de egy Google jamboard interaktív véleménykérés is három témakörben. Mint mindig, az ülés az egyes tagok és partnerek kaptak lehetőséget fejleményeik megosztására. A találkozót Argie Kavvada (NASA HQ) vezette.

"Short update for the GEO EO4SDG Community

 

By invitation, the Working Group for Sustainable Development (WG4SDG) of Hungarian Society of Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing (MFTTT) a review article has been provided for publication in the special issue of the Big Earth Data Journal devoted to “Big Data in Support of the Sustainable Development Goals”.  The article will inform the readers on the Hungarian status and innovations in Earth observations and geoinformation with the aims to support the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

 

The paper entitled „Earth Observation and Geospatial Big Data Management and Engagement of Stakeholders in Hungary to Support the SDGs” is dealing with the following topics:

Chapter 1 gives introduction of the article,

Chapter 2 describes the mission goals, voluntary task of WG4SDG and gives a general picture on the Hungarian SDGs institutional background.

The WG4SDG’s international partnerships and domestic activities as achievements are briefly introduced in Chapter 3.

This is followed by analysis of the SDGs-related Geospatial Information (GI) and Earth Observation (EO) education in Hungary in Chapter 4.

Chapter 5 communicates on the major EO/GI data sets, databases, repositories and services applicable to support SDG-related implementations. As a contribution a case study on the Hungarian Soil Geoinformation System is given.

In Chapter 6 a special attention is paid to the Big Earth Data perspective in the field of EO, namely establishment of the Hungarian Earth Observation Information System (FIR) and its SDG-related EO applications.

The Chapters 7 - 9 give critical assessment, identify tasks to be accomplished and summarize conclusions.

The extended team of co-authors represent governmental, academic, industry and non- governmental organisations and professional society segments. They are core members of the WG4SDG working group together with experts of prime engaged stakeholders in the field of EO/Geospatial domain. The WG4SDG is lead by Prof. Dr. Szabolcs Mihály. The authors of the paper are: Szabolcs Mihály[1], Gábor Remetey-Fülöpp[2], Dániel Kristóf[3], Anna Czinkóczky[4], Tamás Palya[5], László Pásztor[6], Pál Rudan[7], György Szabó[8], László Zentai[9]

In case of publication, a presentation will be prepared with the same contents to inform the EO4SDG Community as well.

 

Further notes

-       At the Annual General Assembly of MFTTT, held on 25th May, 2021 the activities of WG4SDG have been recognised. As the next domestic action in outreach, the achievements will be introduced at the MFTTT Roving Conference in July.

-       The issue ’support of the implementation of SDGs by EO/GI’ has been repeatedly advocated in the final review phase of the draft of the National Space Strategy.

-       Many of the line Ministries addressed by MFTTT replied positively encouraging the Society’s efforts to continue its awareness raising activities and assist in forging links between stakeholders including the Central Statistical Office.”

Background

Senior decision makers, whether in government or the private sector continually weigh up competing investment opportunities in the realization of policy objectives or profits. To argue the case for investment in geospatial information and systems you need to be well prepared. Recent work in the new field of geo-economics has focused on assessing socio-economic benefits in the context of use cases that align with organizational or National policy drivers. This course will focus on introducing geospatial professionals to a simple methodology for identifying and articulating economic, social, and environmental benefits in terms decision makers can understand and estimating the return on investment in monetary terms.    

Format

This free course is delivered in two parts. Part 1 is a self-paced e-learning module describing how to build a business case.  You will learn to:

  • List key economic and social benefits of geospatial information and systems;
  • Identify the policy objectives that geospatial information and systems align to;
  • Explain how to quantify the costs and benefits of geospatial information systems; and
  • Describe how to build a business case for geospatial information systems. 

Part 2 is a webinar that builds on the content of the e-learning through a question-and-answer session with a panel of specialists, allowing delegates to gain insights relevant to their challenges gaining executive-level buy-in for investment plans.

Course Schedule

The course schedule is as follows:

  1. Self-paced e-learning module (available from Monday 3rd May 2021)

This has been developed by Nigel Edmead, Principal at enumanation. Delegates are asked to complete this module in advance of the webinar. The e-learning takes about 30 minutes to complete.

 

  1. Webinar (Wednesday 19th May 2021 | 10:00 – 11:30 CET)

Chaired by Frédéric Cantat (Transformation Coordination, IGN France). This session will include short presentations from a panel of specialists: Andrew Coote (CEO of ConsultingWhere), Joep Crompvoets (Professor, KU Leuven; Secretary-General EuroSDR) and others. The remainder of the webinar will be given over to answering questions from delegates on how to develop the business case for geospatial information and systems. The webinar is 90 minutes.

 

Registration

Please register for this course here: http://www.eurosdr.net/socio-economic-benefits-geospatial-information-and-systems. There is a limit of 50 delegates, so early registration is recommended.

Magyarország nem tagja a téradat-kutatás európai szervezetének (EuroSDR)

A ma érkezett, az EuroSDR 2020.évi jelentésében, a szervezet tagországai között hiába keressük Magyarországot. Ha ez így van, ez kifejezetten versenyhátrányt jelent, de méltatlan a  térinformatikai kutatásokkal, fejlesztésekkel, alkalmazásokkal foglalkozó hazai intézmények és szervezetek eredményeit tekintve. 

Az új technológiák, megközelítések és kihívások (AI/ML, G5, IoT, Big Data, EO ARD, EO/SDI integrációja a statisztikai adatokkal, UAV alkalmazások, LIDAR feldolgozások, citizen science, digitális iker, felhőszolgáltatások, GNSS, LBS, ITS, V2X és a ma még nem is ismert, de 5 éven belül elterjedten használt megoldások) igénylik, hogy a hazai szakemberek a téradatok kutatása terén is bekapcsolódhassanak az EuroSDR vérkeringésébe. A felsoroltaknál a legfontosabb szereplők maguk az adatok, melynek kutatása az adat tudomány körébe esik. (Az ITS Hungary 2021. május 6-i három órás webinárja érzékletesen rámutatott a tér-idő kontextusban az adatok szerepére a közeljövő közlekedésében.)

Az illetékesek és érdekeltek számára az EuroSDR elérhetőségei:

Legutóbb, a CLGE szervezethez való kapcsolódás ösztönzése esetében a javaslat akkor sikerre vezetett, amiben oroszlánrésze volt az MFTTT-nek. Most talán a Lechner Tudásközpontra (közreműködőként az érintett akadémiai intézményekre, egyetemi oktató- és ipari kutatóhelyekre) irányulhat a figyelem.
