The European Commission is looking at how space policy and space-related programmes across the EU could be developed in future.

On 23-24 January, senior comission representatives will work with top decision-makers, chief executives, scientists and members of the European space sector to explore how existing programmes such as Copernicus, the EU's Earth-observation programme; Galileo, the global satellite navigation system; and EGNOS, the EU's regional satellite navigation system, can address the union's priorities in space.
