Call for ideas

Telecommunications - ARTES 5

Once a year, the Telecom program of the European Space Agency (ESA) is inviting industry and experts from European Member States and Canada to submit ideas and suggestions for future research and development activities in the area of satellite communication. All submissions are confidential.

Every year workplans are prepared for ESA Telecom's Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES) program elements 1 and 5. The activities in the workplans are selected from the response to this "Call for Ideas" by the ESA Telecommunications team with support from experts from other ESA directorates.

Innovation Triangle Initiative (ITI) – Continuous Call for Ideas

The aim of the Innovation Triangle Initiative (ITI) is to foster the introduction of breakthrough innovations and technologies in the space environment. Its specific goal is to explore technologies or services for space applications that are not currently being used or exploited in the context of space and have therefore the potential of being the seed for significant innovation.

ITI supports new ideas or concepts, giving preference to innovations coming originally from non-space industrial or research sectors. The submitters of these ideas or concepts are supported by ITI with seed-money, technical support and networking contacts aiming at combining the creativity, know-how and experience of the research community, space customers and industry.

The initiative gives industry the opportunity to submit unsolicited and innovative research and development proposals throughout the year, and if approved, to rapidly receive the necessary funding.
