Use Cases

The Open-Earth-Monitor (OEMC) design workshop, which took place at the project kick-off meeting in Wageningen in 2022, put use cases at the center of the OEMC project. Since then, 30+ OEMC use cases were established, each with at least one stakeholder directly influencing the design and results (tools and data) developed by the use case.
