The “Copernicus services in support to Cultural Heritage” study aims to support the European Commission in its assessment on the possibility of initiating an institutional action for promoting the use of Copernicus data for Cultural Heritage preservation, monitoring and management. The Copernicus programme is one of the European flagship programmes, providing free and open data and information relying on satellite-based imagery, models and in-situ data. Beyond merely data and information, the Copernicus programme relies on state-of-the-art models to be used for societal and environmental purposes. The Copernicus programme is a public service designed to respond to policy and public administrations, as well as foster economic growth in Europe by: Supporting public users at local, national and European level; Helping Europe to maintain a prominent role in the international context; Strengthening intermediate users, downstream companies and value-added service providers
