Launch of the Copernicus Hubs

Description

The Copernicus Thematic Hubs are single entry points for the ensemble of data, products and information generated by the Copernicus services and components for specific thematic or geographical areas. The Hubs correspond to specific EU policy needs and provide simplified access to key information on selected areas for various stakeholders, policy makers and users. In 2023, Copernicus is launching four Thematic Hubs; Health, Coastal, Energy and Arctic. Each Hub is operated by a Copernicus Entrusted Entity.

An information session will be held on the 09/11/23 from 09:00 – 10:00 am.
