The European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) is the European think-tank for space. Founded in 2003, ESPI is a not-for-profit association based in Vienna, the world capital of space diplomacy. The mission of the Institute is to provide decision-makers with an informed view on mid- to long-term issues relevant to Europe’s space activities. To this end, ESPI relies on a multinational team with interdisciplinary expertise to monitor major developments and trends in the global space sector and to conduct independent research and analysis on outstanding issues for European space policy. The Institute is governed by a General Assembly of member organizations and supported by an Advisory Council of independent high-level experts.
