EU SPACE Networks Programme
The EU Space Networks cover the EU Space programme and its components and initiatives, including Galileo, EGNOS, IRIS², and SSA/STM. Through these networks, the European Commission is boosting its engagement with stakeholders across the EU Space Programme.
Ambassadors correspond to network members who promote the EU Space Programme across different territories, thematic areas or industry verticals, and encourage the use of space data and services both within and outside the EU. They can promote the whole programme ("EU Space Ambassadors") or focus on one of its components (e.g. "Copernicus Ambassadors", "Galileo/EGNOS Ambassadors").
Ambassadors are typically organisations, but in exceptional cases, individuals with the requisite expertise and experience as well as a proven track record of promoting EU Space data and services may also be appointed as Ambassadors.

They promote the EU Space Programme and all its components across different territories, thematic areas or industry verticals, and encourage the use of space data and services both within and outside the EU. They can present the programme at events and provide training, bringing the programme closer to its potential users.
Specialists in the Galileo and/or EGNOS systems and applications, these ambassadors promote the benefits of EGNSS and encourage the use of Galileo and/or EGNOS services. Their expertise fosters the adoption of these technologies across various industries, enhancing efficiency and safety in transportation, agriculture, and emergency response.
These ambassadors promote IRIS², particularly as it moves closer to operational deployment, by spreading awareness, supporting user uptake in Europe and Africa, and enhancing the understanding of its unique role in ensuring secure, resilient connectivity.
Specialists
in the use of Space Situational Awareness (SSA) for monitoring space objects
and space weather or in Space Traffic Management (STM), which can promote safe
operations for all users of space. They promote best practices in Europe and
internationally to help manage the increasingly crowded orbital environment.
Copernicus Ambassadors correspond to organisations that specifically promote the Copernicus component, aiming to increase its visibility and encourage the use of Copernicus data, information and services.
They are members capable of fulfilling roles of both the pre-existing Copernicus Relays and Copernicus Academy members.
Copernicus Relays act as local champions for Copernicus, promoting its benefits and facilitating access to Copernicus data and services at a thematic, regional, or national level.
They are essential in building a strong user community by offering guidance, information, and support, thus enabling more effective use of Copernicus services across various sectors.
Comprises educational or research institutions and companies focused on Earth Observation. These members work to integrate Copernicus data into their curricula and research, aiming to enhance skills and foster innovation and promote user uptake in the field of Earth Observation.
