This page provides an overview of relevant calls where space assets could make a contribution. The calls, coming from within the space community as well as outside of it, are listed under different categories according to their sector of interest.
In line with Eurisy’s mission, the aim of this page is to inspire downstream space companies and professionals to tackle wider societal challenges. Eurisy has been working since long on the development of different thematic areas, stimulating the uptake of satellite applications to enhance efficiency, sustainability and quality of life in Europe and beyond. Following the topics currently under our radar, we provide an overview of relevant calls for the deployment of satellite-based innovation and solutions in a number of sectors.
The EUSPA Space Academy is an online, flexible, and customisable training programme for downstream start ups. Stay tuned for the upcoming modules and the follow-ups, and book your sessions!

The so-called Blue Growth is, for Europe, a source of welfare and well-being. In this sense, the Blue Growth is extrinsically related to the potential of Europe’s seas and coasts to develop a blue sustainable economy. Blue Growth is defined as a long-term strategy that aims at supporting growth in the marine and maritime sectors.

Climate change has become the biggest challenge of our time. Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising and natural disasters occur more frequently and ferociously. Scientists and governments are looking for solutions to stop the deterioration of the environment. However, a high degree of uncertainty still lingers behind the various predictions and underlying research. Space has a vital and often unique role to play in this setting.

The objective of Space4Rural is to foster the use of satellite-based data and services to benefit rural areas. The socio-economic development of rural areas is essential to ensure both environmental sustainability and the well-being of urban areas. Satellite-based services can create economic opportunities in rural areas, helping us to better protect our environment. Satellite data can also support local authorities in rural areas to improve decision-making and land management.
Investments in space are being leveraged in all kinds of sectors to provide innovative services, and sports are no exception, being an important economic sector in modern society. Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as Europe’s Galileo constellation, as well as Earth observation data and satellite communications provide a considerable amount of applications for sport activities.
Working with satellite data allows students, with multiple backgrounds and professional goals, to solve real-world issues. A textbook example is the GIS4Schools Project. It aims to support opportunities for all in acquiring and developing STEAM competences, address innovative practices in a digital era, and contribute to environmental and climate goals.
Additional opportunities related to entrepreneurship and education are listed here below.
