Applications are now being welcomed by the UK Space Agency to manage the next phase of the Centre for Earth Observation Instrumentation programme on its behalf. The primary aim of which is to build on the successes and strengthen the position of UK-led Earth Observation Instrumentation teams to develop and enhance existing UK capabilities whilst promoting close working relationships and knowledge transfer between the academic community and industry.
