From Sentinel Benefits
Study to Observatory.
Project overview
SeBS360 is an ESA-funded project led by Evenflow that builds on the Sentinel Benefits Study (SeBS) to establish the Sentinel Benefits Observatory. The project aims to investigate, analyse, consolidate and disseminate evidence on the value generated through the use of Copernicus Sentinel data.
Operational use cases and value chain assessment
At the core of SeBS360 are operational use cases in which Sentinel-derived information is integrated into workflows by public authorities, commercial users and international organisations. Each use case is analysed using a bottom-up value chain approach, centred on the primary user of the Sentinel-derived information, and tracing impacts across successive actors in the value chain, down to citizens and society. This enables a clear assessment of earth observation benefits across six dimensions of value: economic, environmental, societal, regulatory, scientific and innovation-related aspects.
Thematic benchmarking and transferability of benefits
In addition to individual case analyses, SeBS360 develops thematic Sentinel benefit benchmarks by aggregating evidence across comparable use cases to extract insights on common patterns of benefit, as well as their transferability and scaling potential within selected application areas.
Repository
The project also builds and maintains a repository of notable Sentinel users and uses, and produces Sentinel Benefits Synopsis Reports to synthesise insights for different stakeholder
Dissemination
To support knowledge sharing and uptake, SeBS360 includes promotion and engagement activities, such as workshops and targeted dissemination actions, aimed at fostering dialogue on benefit assessment practices and the use of evidence in policy and operational contexts.
Partners
SeBS360 is implemented by Evenflow in partnership with EARSC and the University of Oxford, and is funded by the European Space Agency under the Copernicus Space Component (CSC) Programme.
