Forestry TEP firmly forward!

Forestry TEP is now running in a brand new domain address f-tep.com. This is a step towards more independent identity, while the European Space Agency ESA continues to support the platform, particularly in the on-boarding of user organizations. As before, the platform is operated by VTT and CGI, committed to maintaining and developing the platform further and supporting our users. We are delighted to say that Forestry TEP is developing strongly and gathering users.

Another key message now is that we would like to invite you for collaboration in research and innovation, particularly in activities within the EU Horizon 2020 programme (and the future FP9), and in activities supported by ESA – you can find more information at eo4society.esa.int/collaborate/.

On the roadmap of Forestry TEP, we have several items:

• improving online guidance and support material, and organizing further trainings
• migration to data and infrastructure services of a DIAS provider – targeting January 2019
• supporting organizations in moving their processing to the platform
• applying an operations model with subscription plans for various service levels and user groups

Furthermore, we are continuously developing the platform – more on that later.

We wish you a pleasant approach to the holiday season!
