| Description | Our findings have been used by: 1) The space industry, e.g. Innovation and Growth strategy, Space Sector Council, Space Growth Partnership to support strength of UK climate research and hence potential for a climate services market; 2) Space data and information supply companies working with us to develop concepts of satellite data use in markets and apps. 3) Government, e.g. Defra, Ofcom, BEIS (DSIT) to develop better appreciation, exploitation and regulation of satellite EO-related services. Major engagements have been the negotiation on Brexit for the Copernicus programme and COP-26 in Glasgow where the UK contributed special sessions on EO to Earth Information Day. 4) International organisations providing satellite data to support climate monitoring and diagnosis, operational oceanography etc. A big development for the project under item 2, space data, has been the award of close to £10 million to institute a first Earth Observation data infrastructure for the UK: the EO Data Hub. |

| Description | UK subscriptions to the European Space Agency 2019 |
| Geographic Reach | National |
| Policy Influence Type | Participation in a guidance/advisory committee |
| Impact | By providing evidence of UK success in Earth Observation, NCEO helped to underpin the case for UK Earth Observation subscriptions at the European Space Agency Ministerial 2019, a decision which is made at Ministerial level in the UK. Working both the UK Space Agency Earth Observation Advisory Committee and directly through UK Space Agency consultation of NCEO, we articulated the success factors for EO missions, their ability to bring economic impact and the need for missions to support challenging environmental problems requiring inter-governrmental action. The UK subscribed 250 million euros of additional money in 2019, allowing new operational satellites to be designed and built. Particularly notable as missions enabled by this contribution are TRUTHS (UK metrology-standard calbration in space; led by the National Physical Laboratory), tthe carbon monitoring mission (CO2M) and the Land Surface Temperature Monitoring Mission (LSTM). The last two are high priority missions for the Copernicus Sentinel Satellites and will lay the foundations for new public services for carbon monitoring and agriculture. The immediate beneficiaries are industrial companies who will build the missions through the UK contribution of 200 million euros to these specific lines. |

| Description | b. NCEO worked with UK Space Agency and Defra by running a joint Office supporting UK activities in the Group on Earth Observations and the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites. This included both advice on policy and co-ordination of UK technical activities. Particular successes included the placing of 23,000 UK data sets from data.gov into the GEO System of Systems (GEOSS) enabling international access and support for BEIS in improving understanding of EO data for REDD+ (relevant to their international climate investments). This included a inter-governmental and inter-agency meeting on the Global Forests Observation Initiative (GFOI). |

Graduate trainees, post graduate students, and apprentices are regularly involved, giving students a chance to talk to people at an early stage in their careers about their career choices and working environments. The day involves a series of talks and presentations, from various companies and/or universities within the sector, and the students get the chance to pick which speakers they would like to see most. We also provide a 'meet the scientist' exhibition style section to the day, where the students will get the chance to speak directly to speakers, with the opportunity to ask any question they have about the work they do, while the presenters showcase some of their specialist equipment. |
