The South West Regional Authority has invited the European Space Agency to present an evening seminars in Cork on Tuesday, November 20.

The purpose of the seminar is to raise awareness of the potential for companies, research organisations and the public sector to get involved in range of ESA Programmes including the Advanced Research in Telecommunication Systems Programme ARTES. 

Companies might not traditionally see themselves working on ESA funded programmes but support is not limited to satellite based businesses or research. It is also for applications such as distance learning, tele-medicine, emergency response systems, marine and maritime issues, security, environmental monitoring, transport logistics, multi-casting, triple-play broadband and telecommunications. The main criterion is that they must make use of telecommunication satellites.

The event is being organised as part of the SWRA’s DRIVE for Growth Project – which is working on creating greater linkages between businesses and public research organisations in Cork and Kerry. According to Sinead Crowley Projects Manager, SWRA, “There is considerable opportunity for companies, research organisations and the public sector to get involved in ESA funded programmes and the SWRA would like to see the emergence of a cluster of companies and research expertise in the region working in this area”.
