The Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) is the Italian leading public research institution dedicated to the study of
geophysical, volcanological and environmental phenomena.

The main objective is to monitor geophysical phenomena in both the fluid and solid components of our planet. The INGV is responsible for
monitoring seismicity and the activity of Italian volcanoes in real time through technologically advanced instrumentation networks,
distributed across the country or concentrated around active volcanoes.

INGV's research encompasses a wide range of geoscience disciplines, focusing on seismology, volcanology, and environmental
studies. The institute is actively involved in national and international projects aimed at advancing scientific knowledge and developing
innovative technologies for hazard assessment and risk reduction. Collaborations with universities, research organizations, and civil
protection agencies enhance INGV's capacity to respond effectively to geophysical emergencies and to contribute to the safety and
well-being of society.

In addition to its research and monitoring activities, INGV is committed to public outreach and education. The institute organizes exhibitions,
publishes educational materials, and maintains an active online presence to disseminate scientific information and promote awareness of
geophysical hazards among the general public.

The Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA-IASB) is a Belgian federal scientific research institute.
Its main tasks are research and public service in space aeronomy, which is the physics and chemistry of the atmosphere of the
Earth and other planets, and of outer space.

BIRA-IASB studies:

• the atmospheres of solar system bodies
• the impact of the Sun, nature and mankind on atmospheric changes

It is the only Centre of Knowledge in Belgium that has the required competences to elaborate all elements of a space mission to
perform a complete study of an aeronomic problem:

→ the formulation of research objectives

→ the consequent instrument and space mission design

→ the derivation of satellite data products, their validation and geophysical exploitation, including modeling

and service development (e.g. SACS – Support to Aviation Control Service; http://sacs.aeronomie.be)

All our activities have one goal in common: the broadening of our knowledge of the atmospheres of celestial bodies. Improved
knowledge is indispensable to better inform the citizen and policymakers and to find answers to the societal challenges

The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) is the largest public research organisation of Spain devoted to scientific and

technical research and one of most renowned institutions in the European Research Area.

The Geosciences Barcelona - CSIC (GEO3BCN; https://www.geo3bcn.csic.es/) is a reference institute of Earth Sciences in Spain
whose main objective is to provide the best possible response to the requirements of our society with regard to Geosciences. This
international research centre brings together high-profile research specialists from different disciplines into a singular
multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research team. GEO3BCN proposes a holistic approach, from micro-scale to planetary scale,
to characterise planet Earth, encompassing three fundamental research challenges: Global geodynamics, Georisks and global

change, and Geological resources. Currently, GEO3BCN-CSIC has several active national and international projects related to
different disciplines, including environmental change and modelling, sustainable exploration for European Critical Raw Materials
and the development of digital twins for geophysical extremes.

Terradue is a leading provider of Earth sciences applications and services, founded in Italy in 2006 by researchers from the European Space Agency (ESA). As the first incubatee of ESA's Business Incubation Centre in Lazio, Terradue has grown into a team of 19 professionals from six nationalities, headquartered in Rome at The Hub in Termini. The company specialises in supporting application builders in the Earth sciences domain by integrating algorithms provided by its partners and developing them into operational workflows. This enables the production of Analysis Ready Data and Added Value Products, turning raw satellite data into actionable insights.

Terradue has established itself as a pioneer in deploying and operating Earth Observation (EO) data processing applications across multiple cloud infrastructures, ensuring its partners and clients avoid cloud vendor lock-in. Among these platforms is the Geohazards
Exploitation Platform (GEP) that Terradue developed and operates as a cloud-based processing platform offering over 25 services for monitoring terrain motion and critical infrastructures in cooperation with international research institutes and private companies.
GEP provides data screening, event response, and area monitoring capabilities, leveraging systematic and event-triggered services. With over 3,200 registered users, including around 350 active content creators, GEP operates on a revenue-sharing model that supports both sponsored and direct purchase revenues.
