This workshop will bring together the Destination Earth Data Lake community to exchange experiences and identify priorities for the future.
As Destination Earth (DestinE) enters into its operational phase, increasing attention is being placed on the maturity of the applications and services developed across the ecosystem. The growing number of projects engaging with the DestinE Data Lake (DEDL) creates a need for stronger visibility on ongoing activities, greater exchange across projects and institutions, and a better understanding of user priorities and challenges for future evolution.
This workshop aims to bring together active user projects, implementing entities, and institutional stakeholders to exchange experiences, showcase developments, and identify priorities for future evolution of DEDL services and user support activities.
The workshop will be organised as an interactive, exchange-oriented event prioritising visibility of ongoing developments and identification of user needs and priorities combining:
- Short project presentations and demonstrations
- Facilitated discussions and peer exchange
- Thematic breakout discussions
- Networking opportunities
The audience for the workshop is made up of DestinE user project owners, representatives from the European Commission, ESA, ECMWF, and EUMETSAT, technical experts and support actors involved in the DestinE ecosystem as well as selected representatives from EUMETSAT Member States and related groups.
The workshop is organised by EUMETSAT in coordination with DestinE partners, and will take place at EUMETSAT headquarters in Darmstadt, Germany on 2-3 November 2026.
Participation is by invitation only, but if your organisation would like to take part, please contact the Data Lake team to express your interest: users-dedl@eumetsat.int.
