Assimila managed the GlobModel project for the European Space Agency. The purpose of Globmodel was to identify opportunities to increase the uptake of Earth Observation data in scientific and operational Earth System Modeling. |
|
Assimila is providing Programme Management services for the National Centre for Earth Observation. |
|
Assimila supported LogicaCMG to provide an assessment of UK facilities and capabilities relevant to the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security programme. The project provided evidence to the British National Space Centre’s case for industrial support to GMES. |
|
Assimila led a project funded by the BNSC to foster collaboration between the UK EO community and CONAE, the Argentinean Space Agency, with a specific focus on the upcoming SAOCOM satellite constellation. |

Assimila carried out an audit of Earth System Modelling (ESM) activities funded by NERC. The audit included a review of UK capabilities in ESM model and component development and use. Assimila then facilitated a high level Strategy Group which, in collaboration with the Met Office, used the audit results to develop the strategy. |

Assimila is providing project management support to NCEO for the development of the ISIC Visualisation Centre. ISIC (the International Space Innovation Centre) is being built at the Science and Technology Facilities Council Harwell Campus and will form a focus for EO activities in the UK. Assimila is responsible for managing science requirements for the visualisation centre and translating these into technical facilities, providing liaison between the users of the facility and the technical implementation, and sourcing high impact multi-media material to be used in the visualization centre. Assimila is also developing plans for long term engagement of NCEO in the ISIC. |
