Impact and sustainability assessment of LandSense Citizen Observatory

The deliverable summarizes new events that have been organized in 2020 and that have, and continue, to contribute to the impact of the LandSense Citizen Observatory. Originally D2.4 was meant to report on outcomes of the multi-stakeholder workshop and evidence gathered there on the impact and sustainability of the LandSense Citizen Observatory. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 situation did not allow for such a ‘live’ workshop to occur in which the LandSense community could meet. Nevertheless, multi-stakeholder online workshops, which were focussed on enhancing the sustainability of LandSense outputs and associated applications, were held at the European week or Regions and Cities and the EuroSDR event, which are described in more detail in the deliverable. The LandSense outputs are then presented along with their sustainability plans including more detailed descriptions of those outputs that have strong sustainability. The assessment of outputs shows that continuity of LandSense initiatives is guaranteed through the uptake of several LandSense applications such as the Natura Alert app, OSMLandUse, Picture Pile, and the LandSense Authentication Service which will be continued as an EOSC (European Open Science Cloud) community plugin.
