The recording from the first EO Veracity public webinar is now available to all.

Perhaps you have recently learnt of the EO Veracity Proof of Concept Verification project and want to know more. Maybe you weren't able to make it to the public webinar in December. Or possibly you just want to watch it again to refresh your memory. Whatever the reason, you can now watch the recording from the December 2025 public webinar by visiting our Resources page (link below).

In other news, EO Veracity Task 2 kicked off earlier this week on the 12th of January.

This task aims to fulfil objective 2 of the project: Characterise types of potential interference and the expected consequences​. This task, which will run until May 2026, will research the nature of potential interferences that may affect EO data, both in general and related to the EO product chains investigated in Task 1. Find out more about these EO product chains using the link below. As part of this the team will focus on a range of threats identified from Task 1, industry trusted taxonomies, such as ISO27001, European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework. This research will be followed by an analysis of how to detect and counter these interferences. Stay tuned to learn more about the outcomes.

On 17 December 2025, the EO Veracity Proof of Concept Verification project held its first public webinar. This event was a great success and was attended by more than 20 stakeholders across the Earth Observation generation chain, from satellite data generators to end users. During the webinar the project was introduced, including the context of why we should verify EO data and the project objectives. A summary of the work done to date was provided before explaining what we will do now and what the project and public outcomes will be.

The finale of the project will be the production of a roadmap for EO organisations interested in protecting the veracity of the EO information chains. This roadmap will outline veracity methodologies that can protect the end-to-end EO chain and how best to implement them.

The key message of the webinar is that the project team don't want to work in isolation, but aim to meet the needs of the EO industry by engaging with EO organisations and getting your feedback. Together we can produce a roadmap that is thorough and practical to implement.
