Strategy
The ESF Space Sciences Unit encourages space researchers to make good use of ESF resources as part of their work in space science research. One key role for the Unit is to deliver advice and counsel on how best to coordinate space-related activities, national and pan-European.
The structure of the Unit enables it to integrate all the different disciplines of space research, and create a dynamic environment for focused debate and discussion. The Space Science Unit interfaces with space-related organisations and communities on issues that are not regularly managed through research councils, thus providing a unified approach to multi-disciplinary research into space – a unique aspect of this unit, and also unique in Europe.
The ESSC has published in March 2007 its Strategic Plan 2007-2010
The 2003 review of ESSC led the Committee to try and strengthen its relationships with its Funding Institutions (EFOs). An annual meeting has been set up to exchange on issues of common interest and a restricted section of the web site is maintained for these exchanges
