Representing the Members
The core pillar of our activities is to support and promote our members. We achieve this in part through the fees which members pay but mainly through projects which we undertake. All the projects which we undertake have the goal to support members.
Members are kept informed through a monthly report and through a dedicated portal that carries important news and information – including announced bid opportunities – and dedicated e-mails for key items.
Members' views are gathered through a series of working groups dedicated to important topics. These meet regularly in case of very active policy domains, or on an ad hoc basis when there is a position to be developed, or information to be shared. The key working groups are listed below. They are open to all full members. If a member wishes to join any of these groups please email info@earsc.org or the named secretariat point of contact listed for each group.
Green Deal
The purpose of the WG is to advocate increased use of EO for the Green Deal strategy encouraging the EU to adopt EO contribution through statements, position papers, and technical feasibility assessments, ensuring awareness of the industry contribution responding to the monitoring needs for the Green Deal implementation.
Methane Emissions
Carbon Removals
Forest Management
Nature Restoration and Biodiversity
Defence and Civil Security
The overall objective of the working group is to elaborate a clear and coherent industry position on the Defence and Civil Security matters in the context of the evolution of the Copernicus programme.
