THEMATIC CALL FOR PROPOSAL Thematic call in the frame of the standard call for proposal AO/1-10494. Applications can be submitted anytime. The Thematic Call for proposals aims at supporting new space-based services for the digital transformation and sustainability of the sport sector, specifically in the organisation, management, and further exploitation of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. It primarily targets the next Games in Europe - Paris 2024 and Milano Cortina 2026, with the ambition of providing services for the future Games as well, ensuring continuity of the sustainability model.  Both Paris 2024 and Milano Cortina 2026 have committed to deliver net-zero events with a strong engagement of the communities, and these new challenges require investments in innovation, where space can offer ubiquitous information and connectivity in support of a punctual as well as long term perspective. New services are required for the preparation phase before the Games, during the event itself, and in the post-event phase for the most efficient exploitation of the critical infrastructures, the safe and fun engagement of the fans, and the environmental sustainability of the events. Examples of possible use cases are provided below in the Scope, either focused on a specific edition of the Games, or considered as common to all the future editions. The topics of interest have been derived after several interactions with key stakeholders of the sector, including: Olympic committees (e.g. Paris 2024, Infrastrutture per Milano Cortina 2026, Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026); partners of the Olympic Games (e.g. Atos and Omega); innovation hubs for acceleration of technology uptake in the sport industry: European Platform for the Sport Innovation EPSI, Global Sport Innovation Centre GSIC) SCOPE Given the extreme visibility and relevance of the Olympic Games, the proposed applications must demonstrate robustness and reliability. A fast and short-term implementation of the proposed application is subject to a proved maturity and integrity of the service. A longer development and validation process should be built on a sensible plan potentially involving more events and Games editions to support the final deployment of the service, where one edition of the Games or a major sport event could be used as a test-bed before operational deployment of the service. A continuous use of the proposed service throughout subsequent Games is encouraged, as well as the implementation of a continuous learning approach from one edition to the other. Some of the needs are shared across the whole sport industry, especially regarding competition events. Applicability of the proposed service to different major sports events is encouraged and should be taken into consideration. Each proposed service should assess its economic viability for the service provider and the cost-benefit analysis of the potential customers (e.g. the Olympic Committees). Topics of interest include (non-exhaustive list): Sustainability: Sustainable infrastructure Services around construction sites Smart and green (Olympics) cities Smart management of the event: Crowd management, first response and management of emergency events, public safety  Event management Engagement with fans Performance: Athletes’ preparation and training Specific use cases of the stakeholders partner of the call ATOS Swiss Timing Details are in the Annexes available for download on this page. https://business.esa.int/sites/business/files/Space_for_Olympic_Games-Annexes.pdf  VALUE OF SPACE  To achieve the objectives and address the above areas, the proposed services shall leverage on space assets, such as:  Satellite Navigation (SatNav):  supports geo-localisation of vehicles and routing to events and facilities, mapping of the position/velocity of the athletes during training for performance improvement, or during competition for results assessment Satellite Communications (SatCom):  enables the provision of connectivity to enhance the communication links of the facilities, connectivity of Internet of Things (IoT) devices for the monitoring of the event parameters, support of remote locations selected for specific sports (e.g. Tahiti for Surf, Mountains in the Winter Olympics) Earth Observation (SatEO) including weather:  monitoring of the status of the working sites, collect information on geographical and environmental parameters for the sustainability analysis, integration of environmental data into the athlete performance assessment Human Spaceflight:  technology transfer of health/life parameters sensors, innovative textiles, algorithms for the physical status assessment In addition to space assets other innovative technologies such as Web 3.0, AR/VR, AI/ML, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), cyber secure digital technologies, robotics, unmanned/remotely piloted transportation systems such as Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV), etc. can be used if relevant to the identified use cases.
