E4Warning Showcases EO-Based Vector Risk Mapping at GEO Global Forum 2025
The E4Warning project participated in the GEO Global Forum 2025, held from May 5–9 at the Auditorium della Tecnica in Rome, joining over 60 Horizon Europe-funded projects in presenting cutting-edge Earth Observation (EO) solutions for sustainable development and global health security.
As part of the EU Booth, E4Warning presented its poster on EO-driven risk assessment for mosquito-borne diseases, highlighting how satellite data and environmental covariates are used to model the habitat suitability of key West Nile virus (WNV) vectors and avian reservoirs across Europe. Our contribution emphasized the importance of dynamic, seasonally resolved models to improve early warning systems for WNV and other vector-borne threats.
The event also marked the adoption of the GEO Post-2025 Strategy, reaffirming the role of EO in addressing climate adaptation, environmental resilience, and global health. Throughout the week, the EU Booth hosted a rich program of live talks, e-posters, expert meetups, and thematic sessions, making it a key hub for showcasing how EO can bridge science, policy, and impact.
The EuroGEO Secretariat published all presentations (PDF), as well as all e-posters, on their Web site: GEO Global Forum 2025 Marks Milestone in Earth Observation Collaboration. Especially the e-poster gallery EuroGEO – e-posters will be promoted on social media towards the next EuroGEO workshop that will be announced soon.
