e-shape is a unique initiative under the EU-funded Horizon 2020 programme driven by the need to develop operational Earth Observation (EO) services with and for the users and to create a conducive environment whereby the strengths of Europe are exploited towards addressing societal challenges, fostering entrepreneurship and supporting sustainable development. e-shape is also a flagship project for the European Union (EU) to contribute through worldwide efforts to GEO (Group on Earth Observations) by establishing EuroGEO and by providing its experience and knowledge to the EO community. In this paper, e-shape's objectives and challenges are presented focusing on the development of EO services and promotion European EO capabilities with and for the users.
