On 2-3 July 2024, ESA organised in cooperation with Eurisy, the Norwegian Space Agency and the Norwegian Polar Institute, the workshop ‘Space for Actic: Accelerating the use of space for climate action and civil protection’, in Tromsø, Norway.This executive summary highlights the main discussion points and results of the workshop.
The Annual Activity Report for the year 2023-2024 gives an overview of our key achievements, initiatives, and the collaborative efforts that have driven our mission forward over the past year. From innovative projects to impactful partnerships, communication strategies and social media analysis, it encapsulates the dedication and hard work of our Members and Team. We invite you to explore the report and join us in celebrating the progress we’ve made together.

74th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), Baku, Azerbaijan. Paper: “Protecting Europe: How can space applications support European states toimplement the new Critical Entities Resilience Directive”
In this white paper, contributors Mathieu Turpin (Reuniwatt), Pilar Rípodas (AEMET) and Jochen Grandell (EUMETSAT) present the journey of satellite data from space to solar plant, following the launch of the Meteosat Third Generation Imager-1 (MTG-I1) – the first of a new generation of satellites providing crucial insights for the early detection and prediction of fast-developing severe storms, weather forecasting and climate monitoring.
This white paper highlights the accomplishments achieved through MTG characteristics, as well as the positive impact of the additional datasets and their improved quality and accuracy in solar irradiance forecasts in particular.
The Annual Activity Report for the year 2022-2023 gives an overview of the activities undertaken by the secretariat, represents a summary of events, publications, testimonials of Eurisy’s members and projects executed by the association. The publication provides the reader with key information regarding communication and outreach efforts and serves as a tool for raising awarness about the functioning of the association.
EUSPA together with Eurisy, in cooperation with the Greek Ministry for Climate Crisis and Civil Protection and Ministry of Digital Governance, organised a workshop in Greece to present operational satellite-based services for disaster risk management. In this report the outcomes of the event have been collected.
Within the Copernicus & Me initiative, we interviewed 11 European organisations to bring you simple and readable case studies reporting on their experience of use of satellite-based services.
Ten of them provided us with information that we could present in an aggregated analysis.
On the 19 and 20 of October 2022, the High Level Construction Forum organised two webinars that
aimed to identify technologies that have the potential to advance the digital and green transition of
the construction ecosystem. It initiated an exchange on challenges and needs regarding research and
innovation, the uptake of technologies and the transfer of technology from research to market.
In recent years, Europe faced the consequences of several natural hazards, resulting in human and economic losses.
Extreme weather events due to climate change will only increase in the future. The rapid growth in the use of
satellite applications has the potential to mitigate the impact of climate change and related hazards. Earth
observations, Global Navigation Satellite Systems, and satellite communications all support crucial phases of
disaster risk management, from prevention and preparedness to response and recovery.
This paper aims to shed light on the European stakeholders playing a role in the disaster risk management cycle
and the contributions of satellite applications. It revolves around the current mechanisms to access and share
international and European space-born information. An analysis of the main stakeholders will be provided, as well
as their role and operative mechanisms. The research seeks to deepen the disaster risk management community
among European states with regard to the integration of satellite applications. Several recent case studies on the
use of satellite-based services during different disasters will be presented.
