ESA Earth Observation for a Sustainable Blue Economy – User Consultation Meeting

ESA is organising the first-of-its-kind User Consultation Meeting dedicated to the application of satellite remote sensing for the development of a sustainable Blue Economy.

European Space Agency - ESA (ESA) meeting on how Earth Observation can support the blue economy. Abstracts for talks, posters and demonstrations are due by 1 November 2026; registration runs from 30 November 2026 to 15 January 2027.

The objective of the “EO for a Sustainable Blue Economy User Consultation Meeting” is to bring together remote sensing experts, service providers, and a broad range of stakeholders—including policymakers, industry representatives, researchers, and end users—to discuss the latest advances in satellite remote sensing technologies that support the sustainable development of the blue economy, including the monitoring of its environmental impacts and the development and implementation of environmental policies.

Participants will gain insights into the latest development in Space-enhanced Blue Economy solutions, engage in discussions on the integration of satellite remote sensing information into innovative solutions and decision-support tools, and contribute to identifying user needs and future priorities for satellite remote sensing data to advance the sustainable development, monitoring  and governance of Blue Economy activities.
