The primary objective of the FAST-EO project is to enhance the accessibility and democratization of foundation models (FMs) within the EO community. This includes:

OBJ-I.

Define and develop an EO-specific Foundation Model

OBJ-ii.

Specify and explore EO use-cases benefiting from Foundation Model

OBJ-iii.

Develop AI4EO applications derived from Foundation Model

OBJ-iv.

Assess impacts of AI4EO Foundation models and define Roadmap

OBJ-v.

Foster community development of EO Foundation Model users / providers
