Building on the success of the Copernicus Networks, created in 2017 to increase the visibility and uptake of Copernicus open data, services, products, and applications in Europe and beyond, the EU Space Networks have an expanded scope to include all the components of the EU Space Programme.
In this new structure, a single new member type, Ambassador, exists for each of the components.
Ambassadors promote the EU Space Programme across different territories, thematic areas or industry verticals, and encourage the use of space data and services both within and outside the EU. They can promote the whole programme (‘EU Space Ambassadors’) or focus on one of its components (e.g. ‘Copernicus Ambassadors’, ‘Galileo/EGNOS Ambassadors’).
Ambassadors are organisations with expertise and experience in their respective fields, as well as a proven track record of promoting EU Space data and services.
The Call for Expression of Interest for joining the EU Space Network is published on the DG DEFIS website. All applications will be evaluated by the European Commission in a timely manner.
