The coastal zone space program now has a common identity and is known as Cosmeo. This new name marks a pivotal milestone in the program’s history, providing a single, unifying name for all initiatives carried out under France 2030’s “Demonstration of Services for Coastal Zone Knowledge and Monitoring” initiative.

Cosmeo aims to bring together, under a single banner, the community of space data producers, service providers, and institutional and operational beneficiaries. By structuring this community, the program seeks to enhance the clarity of its activities, improve the visibility of the services developed, and facilitate their adoption by end users.

Beyond a name change, Cosmeo embodies the commitment to build a sovereign national program of digital services for coastal areas, based on reliable and shared spatial data. This initiative is part of a collaborative effort among public, industrial, and scientific stakeholders to address the challenges of managing, monitoring, and planning coastal areas.

Through Cosmeo, the program thus reaffirms its ambition: to develop a coherent, visible, and sustainable service offering that supports coastal regions and public policies.
