The 2020 edition of the Galileo Masters opened for submissions on April 1. Seeking to award applications, services and new ideas that use Galileo and EGNOS also in synergy with other space programmes to respond to pressing needs facing business and society.

The 2020 competition has three GSA-sponsored challenges under the theme Space for Future Generations

Since it began in 2004, the Galileo Masters has scouted for the most forward‐thinking applications based on Galileo and EGNOS and this year is no different. Innovators and entrepreneurs are invited to submit their solutions to the competition by the deadline of 30 June 2020. The most innovative of these will be able to share in more than EUR 750,000 worth of cash prizes. Sounds interesting? To register, click here.

GSA Challenges

The GSA is partnering with Galileo Masters in three challenges in this year’s competition, all under the theme of: Space for Future Generations. The first of these, the Space for our Planet Challenge, aims to tackle climate change and environmental degradation, which represent an existential threat in Europe and worldwide. Services based on data from Galileo, EGNOS and Copernicus Earth observation can be used to mitigate this threat by supporting more environmentally-conscious life choices, resulting in a healthier planet. Have an idea about how to save the planet? Let us know about it.

Currently very relevant, the Space for Being Safe and Healthy Challenge is looking for solutions that use downstream space data provided by Galileo, EGNOS and/or Copernicus as key enablers of innovative applications to help stem the spread of COVID-19. Solutions are expected to help public authorities to monitor and analyse emergency situations of this nature and increase public awareness about viruses like the coronavirus.

In its Space for Fun Challenge, the GSA is targeting solutions using data from Galileo and EGNOS in the gaming, sports, leisure and tourism markets, where GNSS enables the monitoring of user performance and helps make augmented reality games even more immersive. Covering a number of market segments, this challenge has a lot of scope for new ideas that need accurate and authenticated positioning information. Ready to accept the challenge? Sign up here!

In all three challenges, there is a cash prize of EUR 10,000 up for grabs, with another EUR 10,000 awarded to the concept that is selected at the Galileo Masters 2020 overall winner. What’s more, participants in this year’s competition are in with a chance of winning one of six tailored Galileo Incubation prizes worth up to EUR 62,000 each.

Inspiration from the past

Even if your concept is not yet fully formed, make sure to register early. That way you will receive information about all the great support activities and additional opportunities that arise throughout the submission phase.

In the two years since the launch of the EU’s eCall emergency response system, which automatically calls emergency services in the event of a road accident, manufacturers have been quick to implement the life-saving technology, with around 3 million eCall-enabled vehicles already sold in Europe.

The EU launched its eCall emergency response system with the publication, on 31 March 2018, of the European eCall regulation, requiring all new car and light van types sold in the EU to be fitted with the system. Manufacturers were quick to respond, with Volvo Cars being the first to certify the system for use in its vehicles and the first to launch an eCall-equipped model to the market – presenting the V60 at the ITS World Congress 2018 in Copenhagen in September 2018.

GSA helps pave the way

European Commission services – specifically the Joint Research Centre – and the GSA helped pave the way for a quick and smooth uptake by the automobile industry, publishing a set of guidelines to help the eCall industry value chain to pre-test the accuracy of their new devices and understand how to reap the benefits of Galileo.

Other manufacturers were quick to follow Volvo’s lead and currently there are 27 car brands offering over 65 models that are equipped with the system, with around 3 million vehicles sold on the EU market to date. To see which car models are currently available, check the UseGalileo site.

Watch this: eCall - Emergency Positioning

“eCall is a true success story for Europe,” said GSA Head of Market Development Fiammetta Diani. “The system leverages EU technology – specifically Galileo precise positioning – to save our citizens lives.” she said.

According to European Commission figures, 25,300 people were killed and 135,000 people were seriously injured in road accidents in the EU in 2017. While new automotive technologies have resulted in a sharp drop in the number of fatalities – which have fallen by 57.5% since 2001, the numbers are still high. By speeding up emergency response times by 40% in urban areas and 50% in the countryside, it is estimated that eCall could help prevent 2,500 road deaths and save EUR 26 billion every year.

How does it work?

eCall is activated automatically as soon as in-vehicle sensors detect a serious crash. Once activated, the system dials the European emergency number 112 and establishes a telephone link to the appropriate emergency call centre.

Leveraging EGNSS (Galileo and EGNOS), the system sends the accurate position of the crashed vehicle and the direction of travel to the emergency services, enabling the emergency responders to get to the accident site faster. An eCall can also be triggered manually by pushing a button in the car, for example by a witness to a serious accident.
