From 8 to 12 April 2025, a series of meetings took place in Leiden and Noordwijk, bringing together key stakeholders from European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC)-related projects, staff, and industry partners.

Discussions focused on Earth observation (EO), flood monitoring technologies, legal data exchange, and capacity building in various areas.

During this meeting, attenders reviewed ESA initiatives related to flood analytics and detection technologies, with a particular focus on Earth Remote Sensing (ERS) applications.

The EU Senior Programme Manager presented the ISTC's role as a lead demonstrator, outlining project coordination and integration strategies.

Discussions also included updates on the Fast Flood initiative and academic pathways for emerging researchers, as well as discussions on the legal framework for data exchange, DRM-DRR regulations, and skills gaps.

Participants also had the opportunity to visit ESA's research facilities in Noordwijk to learn about current technological developments.
