User Consultation Platform

EUSPA spearheads the User Consultation Platform (UCP), a systematic consultation involving stakeholders utilising EU Space technologies for downstream applications. With the aim of gathering and analysing user needs and requirements, the UCP ensures timely inputs into the development of user-centric space data services within the European Union Space Programme, including Copernicus, EGNOS and Galileo, Secure SATCOM, and EU SST.

End users stand at the heart of the EU Space Programme, guiding the development of tailored services to meet their demands.

User Consultation Platform 2024

The UCP 2024 took place on 8 October, and it held 12 dedicated workshops about emergency management, health, urban development and cultural heritage, maritime and fisheries, energy and raw materials, insurance and finance, aviation, unmanned aerial vehicles and infrastructure management.
