The aim of the program is to build closer links between scientists, academia and policy makers focused on the environmental issues, in order to promote a culture of evidence-informed policy making.

The event will focus on domestic environmental topics and the use of space technologies (Earth observation and GNSS) to support policymakers in their decision-making through the use of space data mainly from the European space programs: Copernicus and Galileo. Most importantly, this conference has a special focus on the Luxembourg’s United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
