Since 2011, the annual Copernicus Masters competition has awarded prizes to the best projects and business ideas involving commercial applications based on Earth observation data.
In this year's edition, prizes will be awarded in topic-specific challenges sponsored by a number of world-class partners, including: the European Space Agency (ESA), the German Aerospace Center (DLR), T-Systems International GmbH, Satellite Applications Catapult Ltd., Greece's National Cadastre and Mapping Agency (NCMA), CloudEO AG, and European Space Imaging GmbH. In addition, the new University Challenge specifically addresses students and research assistants around the world.
The prize pool, in addition to cash prizes, primarily includes support for the commercial realisation of the winning ideas, data access, and the chance to enter the incubation programme of one of Europe's 11 ESA Business Incubation Centres (BICs). The overall winner - the Copernicus Master - will be selected from among the winners of each challenge by a panel of experts.
Those interested are invited to submit their innovative ideas from 15 April to 20 July 2015.
The Copernicus Masters competition is organised by Anwendungszentrum GmbH Oberpfaffenhofen.
