Copernicus Prize Bremen

The Copernicus Masters is a global innovation competition at the forefront of earth observation (EO) data applications. It was launched in 2011 by AZO on behalf of the European Space Agency (ESA), with support from the European Commission (COM) and world-class partners from industry and governmental institutions alike. The success of previous winners has proven the Copernicus Masters’ ability to boost the use of earth observation data in highly innovative solutions to help tackle environmental and societal challenges.

In order to be in the running for the overall Copernicus Masters prize, participants must first apply for one Partner Challenge as well as one Copernicus Prize. The Copernicus Prizes are offered by partners representing either regions or countries. This year, the state of Bremen will partake once again with the Copernicus Prize Bremen, organized by Aviaspace Bremen e.V., with support from Starthaus Bremen.
