The UK has a vibrant landscape of world-leading Earth Observation (EO) academic and industrial organisations and a well-founded reputation for excellence in EO. In the National Space Strategy, the Government committed to remain at the forefront of Earth Observation technology and knowhow. The speakers at this event are involved in projects that will deliver essential funding to recognise the importance of this sector, benefiting academia and industry and building our national capability. We will be joined by the leads of 5 major space climate programmes in the UK who will provide latest updates and what to look out for.
