The EYE project aims to develop a prototype service that uses space technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning to monitor and forecast the macroeconomic and epidemiological impacts of disasters, such as the COVID-19 outbreak. By leveraging Copernicus satellite data and automated image processing, the project integrates environmental, climatic, and socio-economic indicators—including pollution, industrial activity, transportation, and energy consumption—into an IT platform for econometric and epidemiologic nowcasting and forecasting. This approach enables near real-time monitoring of disaster impacts and recovery trends, linking Earth observation data with economic and public health dynamics to support decision-making during and after crises.

In the EYE project, Geosystems Hellas (GSH) is responsible for developing the WebGIS platform using Open-Source software. The platform will manage and visualize geospatial data through a centralized database and a microservice-based architecture. GSH will also handle the system’s integration and testing and organize a project co-location event in Greece.

This project is co-funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 – Marie Skłodowska Curie – Rise 2020 under Grant Agreement: 10100763.
