The EARSC Policy Observatory is the hub for our policy-related work, where we monitor, analyse, and contribute to the development of key EU policies impacting the Earth observation (EO) sector. Our goal is to advocate for the effective integration of EO services into European policymaking, supporting evidence-based decision making across environmental, agricultural, security, and other strategic domains.

This space brings together our contributions, ranging from high-level advocacy to technical feasibility studies to ensure EO capabilities are well-understood and leveraged in shaping Europe’s digital and green transitions. The documents available here reflect our engagement with EU institutions and stakeholders, offering insight into the evolving policy landscape and EARSC’s role in interacting with it.
