During the first half of 2025, Poland is holding the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union for the second time. As president, Poland is steering work across all levels of the Council’s operations, aiming to foster collaboration and consensus among EU Member States.

HaDEA has published “End-to-end Earth observation systems and services: an overview of EU Space research projects supporting the development of Earth observation”. This publication presents a selection of projects that are bolstering the competitiveness of the European space sector.

The Copernicus programme stands as one of the world’s most successful Earth Observation initiatives and a key European achievement in space.

As part of the EU Space Research call 2024, HaDEA selected six projects under the STEP topic “Space technologies for European non-dependence and competitiveness”. The awarded STEP Seal will boost their visibility and help to attract additional public and private funding.
