In this study we address the problem of leveraging mobile phone network-based data for the task of estimating population density distribution at pan-European level. The primary goal is to develop a methodological framework for the collection and processing of network-based data that can be...

The scope and focus of the research reported in this document is to implement a collaborative high-level research-grade application software platform for scientific experimentation and data analysis. By doing so, we aim at exploring, extracting value from, and making sense of massive,...

The use of mobile low cost sensors for regulatory purposes or citizen observatory projects is quickly developing. Although several sensor systems have appeared during the last years, generally developers cannot tackle the whole set of open problems regarding their use and the accuracy of the...

The JRC, within the framework of MYGEOSS initiative devoted to citizen science, has developed an application for Apple and Android smartphone devices called "Invasive Alien Species Europe", which allows users to report the presence of the 37 species currently listed as Invasive Alien Species...

ENACT ("ENhancing ACTivity and population mapping") is a JRC Exploratory Research Project involving various units at the JRC, and spanning 2 years (2016-2017). Current knowledge of population distribution is still very limited even for Europe. Existing spatial datasets refer only to...

The work on the JRC Data Policy followed the task identified in the JRC Management Plan 2014 to develop a dedicated data policy to complement the JRC Policy on Open Access to Scientific Publications and Supporting Guidance, and to promote open access to research data in the context of Horizon...

The aim of this document is to report on the workshop on "Socio-economic Benefits of Earth Observations" hold at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, Ispra, on 11-13th July 2011. This workshop has been conducted as part of GEO Task US-09-02a: "Socio-Economic Benefits of GEO and...

This AI Watch report analyses AI uptake in manufacturing. It recognizes that AI can empower a variety of applications in the manufacturing sector and it can impact all stages of production; in particular a major role for AI lies in blending data from different processes, factory floors or...

This report presents the finding of a study undertaken in 2007 by the Centre of Land Policy and Valuations of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya on the socio-economic impact of the spatial data infrastructure (SDI) of Catalonia. The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission...
