UK Space Agency Climate Services call for ideas

News article

Small grants to help the UK develop business-viable ideas that use space data in a climate-related application.

The UK Space Agency is making £80,000 available in grants to support:

  • the use of space data in a climate-related application
  • new or novel ideas in the pre-commercial stage
  • collaboration with another organisation/entity such that the work/skills/data needed should not all be readily available within one organisation. For example, you might buy access to data or consultancy time.
  • ideas that can be developed into a business viable idea by the end of March
  • opportunities for discussion the user community such that the new climate service is needed/wanted

Some example themes have been scoped alongside Space4Climate. Climate services can cover any number of themes across mitigation, adaptation and resilience etc, such as:

  • land use
  • biodiversity
  • carbon
  • energy
  • agriculture
  • health
  • water management
  • education
  • natural disaster response
