BIJLAGE 12 Advies van de Adviesraad Wetenschap Economic impact The council considers the economic impact of the RGI-program as positive, better than expected. Many application-oriented projects would not have started without RGI and demonstrably more and new business has been generated. A number of economically successful projects have been completed. Societal impact The impact of RGI on especially secondary education has been substantial. Awareness and interest have been raised, but structural funding of all initiatives for the future is not fully guaranteed yet. Compared to a field like history, societal interest in geography, the directly related policy sectors like spatial and environmental planning, and the needed geo-information technologies is less than the sector deserves. However, new services like Google Maps and Earth, web-mapping and navigation systems (TomTom) have put GI solidly ‘on the map’, but this has happened with little influence of RGI. Administrative issues The administrative and especially the financial procedures of RGI (and the other Bsik projects), were considered cumbersome. The organization of international participation in projects was almost impossible. Also, the (often required) large consortia, in quite some cases had too many participants and had not enough coherence to function efficiently and effectively. Main recommendations 1. Continued attention for the institutional, societal and human aspects of geo-information as a complement to and in interaction with conceptual and technical research. 2. More emphasis on risky but potentially more innovative projects. 3. Continued attention for multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral projects. 4. Secured access of the scientific community to (low cost) spatial data. RGI International Scientific Advisory Committee, June 19th 2009 Rotterdam meeting of the two RGI Advisory Councils (during the GSDI11 World Conference) Dr. Keith Thomson (Canada) Prof. Ian Masser (UK) Prof. Dr. Philippe De Maeyer (Belgium) Dr. Paul Smits (JRC Italy) In this short brief we would like to report our conclusions on the success of RGI and comment on the future. RGI has been a very successful structured network program that has achieved almost all of the strategic goals and milestones that were fixed during the program. The RGI program has put the Netherlands in forefront in the domain of Geo-information. The Netherlands is presently one of the world leaders in Geoinformation. It is certainly a European leader. RGI has been an important catalyst in the Dutch Geoinformation community and the international position of Dutch Geo-information is largely due to the RGI program. One of the major contributions of RGI was to create more coherence and awareness of Geo-information across the three concerned sectors: university (research and education), industry and public (e.g. government) sector. We were concerned about the situation of no further funding. In our view this will generate a loss of momentum across the Dutch Geo-information community and will have an important negative influence on the position of the Netherlands on the international scene. On the international scene there are three networks that are currently forming more a global international network (a memorandum of understanding is due to be signed in 2010 in Canada). The networks involved are the GEOIDE Network (Canada), CRC.SI Spatial Information Network (Australia) and the Korean Land Spatialisation Group. RGI should also be a player in this global network. However, without further funding this is no longer possible. We agree that every effort should be made to reconstitute/maintain RGI and to capitalize on the past 5 years investment. In our experience a strong national network such as RGI needs to mature over a period of 7 to 10 years. An additional recommendation is that in any future proposals RGI should focus on scientific excellence, international networking and strong commercial linkages. 35
BIJLAGE 13 Advies van de Adviesraad Gebruikers Program assessment Users Advisory Council RGI Innovation System innovation: Distinction must be made between scientific-technical innovation and innovation of the system in the domain of communication in society by improving the knowledge flows between science,education, professional practice and society. The projects in the programme Knowledge themes; Public order & Safety (OOV), Spatial Planning & Design (ROI), Consumers & Students (COL), National Geo/Information Infrastructure (NGII) have resulted in the following: • A strong knowledge network between the research institutes, public organisations and geo-business in the Netherlands • Integration of Bèta and Gamma sciences on the geo-information domain • Political support to establish a national geo-information infrastructure and outlined in GIDEON policy document approved by the Dutch government in 2008. From this point of view it is innovative for the Netherlands and even world wide. Only a few countries made comparable efforts for raising awareness about geo-information. Market innovation The excellent social relevance and the potential economic relevance of this theme are reflected in a high level of innovative activities by the Dutch geo industry. The technological development on the different components of the geo-information system (GIS) were mainly made with proven techniques or required only limited new green field developments. However frontier developments have been made by the integrated approach and usage of the different components in new domains as outlined in the knowledge themes of the programme. In particular the development of coupled modelling linked to GIS, dynamic numerical models presenting there results and spatial impact scenario’s in geo-information systems in a standardised method using the NGII. Currently already 7 projects have created added market value and are regarded as commercial success by the geo-business community. The potential commercial spin-off within the coming 2-3 years after the formal end of the programme is estimated to become much higher because a large amount of projects is rated revolutionary. During the programme the result of these were implemented by the early adaptors however currently a main stream implemented has not yet materialized. This is regarded by the members of the council just a matter of time. Valorisation Scientific Quality: The council agrees with the point of view that this theme, regarding its nature of an applied research programme, would only aspire to limited scientific aims and therefore can’t really be measured by this key. Nevertheless the presented projects demonstrate some successful scientific results (peer reviewed articles and ongoing PhD research). Part of this scientific output is situated in communication and pedagogic sciences rather than in sec the field of geo-information science and geomatics. Economic Relevance (value for money):The present involvement of private companies makes the projects moderately relevant from a point of view of direct benefits. However potential commercial spin-off is regarded high. Societal relevance:: The very high societal relevance has the potential to become a strong driving force behind the creation of new national and international business in the future for the Dutch geo information industry. However, big ICT-companies like Microsoft, Google and Tomtom, have as business strategy fast implementation of technical geo-spatial innovations in their consumer products and services in order maintain their competitive edge. Hence they invest more in proprietary research, early adoption and added value geo- 36
