METHODOLOGY

Project Methodology

The project is based on the development of an Open Data Cube infrastructure, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for data fusion and analysis, and the creation of user-facing tools, including mobile apps and augmented reality (AR) applications.

The project is structured into the following Work Packages (WPs):

Ensuring effective project management, smooth collaboration among partners, and adherence to timelines.
Collecting and harmonizing data from multiple sources and organizing it into a single, reliable information set.
Developing the digital infrastructure – Creating a dynamic online platform that hosts applications, tools, and services for diverse user groups.
Designing analytical tools and user applications, with a strong focus on usability and efficiency.
Pilot implementation and validation of the proposed solutions in real-world conditions, with active user involvement to assess effectiveness and identify areas for improvement.

Greek Living Earth (GLE) is a bold and forward-looking project designed to build a national digital infrastructure for the holistic monitoring of carbon flows and stocks. Leveraging advanced geospatial technologies, AI, data analytics, and decision support systems, the project contributes to the transition toward sustainable agricultural practices and fosters innovation in the agri-food sector.

Communication Strategy

The project’s communication strategy plays a pivotal role in highlighting its technological achievements, disseminating the knowledge it generates, and engaging all relevant stakeholders. It also aims to foster public understanding and acceptance of the innovative solutions developed, bridging science, technology, and society.

The strategy is designed to inform and raise awareness among the general public, primary sector professionals, and policymakers about the transformative role of digital technology in the sustainable management of natural resources and in addressing the climate crisis.

Particular emphasis is placed on making the results accessible, ensuring that the tools are understandable by all users, and facilitating their practical implementation.

The strategy promotes open communication and dialogue, encouraging participation, collaboration, and co-creation, with the ultimate goal of shaping a more environmentally responsible, informed, and resilient society.
