In particular, the workshop aims to:

  • Review the latest status, opportunities and challenges of Open Innovation for space mission projects across space agencies and the community of practice (industry and academia).

  • Initiate coordination in the preparation of guidelines for Open Innovation in space projects, with a focus on EO and OS Science

  • Identify synergies and complementarities between existing grass roots and scientific needs based OS software development and space agency needs

  • Identify actions of space agencies and collaboration opportunities to foster existing grass roots and scientific needs based open source software development.

  • Facilitate the planning and development of a roadmap for future open source science activities, including the ESA Open Science Framework implementation.
