- Relevant projects in the Azores
- Management instruments
The Autonomous Region of the Azores, through the Regional Secretariat for Parliamentary Affairs and Communities / Azores Mission Structure for Space (EMA-Space), and its representation in NEREUS (Network of European Regions Using Space Technologies), is part of the SATSDIFACTION project - SATellite data and Spatial Data Infrastructures for an evidence-based regional governance, co-financed by the Interreg Europe program.
This project, which started in March 2023 and runs until May 2027, aims to promote the sharing of experiences and the transfer of knowledge in the field of using satellite data in spatial data infrastructures, at the level local and regional, as a means to improve the implementation of regional public policies.
In addition to the Azores, the partners in this consortium are the European regions of Veneto (Italy), Basilicata (Italy), Podkarpackie (Poland) and Occitanie (France), the Municipality of Riga (Latvia) and the ISSeP (Belgium) and NEREUS Asbl (Belgium).
The participation of the Region as a partner entity of SATSDIFACTION, has several regional stakeholders, namely the Regional Secretariat for Transport, Mobility and Infrastructure (Regional Directorate for Energy), the Regional Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Change (Regional Directorate for Land and Water Resources Planning) and the University of the Azores.
