Mission Statement
The mission of the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) is to carry out studies and research to provide decision-makers with an independent view on mid- to long-term issues relevant to the use of space.Through its activities, ESPI contributes to facilitate the decision-making process, increases awareness of space technologies and applications with the user communities, opinion leaders and the public at large, and supports students and researchers in their space-related work.To fulfil these objectives, the Institute supports a network of experts and centres of excellence working with ESPI in-house analysts.
