Description
This opportunity, issued by the European Space Agency (ESA), supports the development of space-enabled services that address environmental protection and climate resilience in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. The call aims to fund proof-of-concept studies and pilot projects that leverage satellite Earth Observation (EO), satellite communications, and GNSS technologies to monitor, protect, and enhance Arctic ecosystems and support critical economic activities such as fisheries and aquaculture. Projects should provide solutions for environmental monitoring, risk reduction, decision-making support, and sustainable resource management to address the unique and rapidly evolving challenges of the Arctic region.
