1. Pilot studies: land use and land cover statistics
Synergies between
LUCAS and the national systems

2. LUCAS grants: statistics + micro data
Explore a better integration of MS data into the EUROSTAT LC/LU statistics production cycle
Quality, cost efficiency, timeliness
 harmonise LC/LU statistics in MS, access to micro data
 integrate LUCAS in national in-situ survey

3. LUCAS Grants 2012 (12 – 18 month)
Part A: Delivering specific land cover/use statistics
7 grants (DE, EL, IT, NL, NO, PL, PT)
Part B: Integration of LUCAS in national in-situ surveys
4 grants (EL, IT, NO, PL)

4. Part A: Land cover/use statistics
* Data sources - classification, precision
* Methodology - for calculating areas
* Areas calculated – results & quality
* Pilot data collection
* Micro data access conditions
* Update cycles
 Land cover or land use data or both

5. Part B: LUCAS and national in-situ surveys
* Analyse a national in-situ survey
* How to integrate LUCAS?
* Costs, drawbacks and benefits

6. Some thoughts from the Grants meeting
* broad field of expertise covered by the grant holders
* interesting analysis of data sources
* challenging integration of different data sources: in-situ survey, geographic data… (how to, quality measurement, added value)

7. Next steps - Grants 2012  results June 2014  technical workshop
 interactive development
- Grants 2014
 input on specific issues is welcome
