Mission Statement
The mission of the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) is to provide decision-makers with an independent view and analysis on mid- to longterm issues relevant to the use of space.
Through its activities, ESPI contributes to facilitate the decision-making process, increases awareness of space technologies and applications with the user communities, opinion leaders and the public at large, and supports students and researchers in their space-related work.
To fulfil these objectives, the Institute supports a network of experts and centres of excellence working with ESPI in-house analysts.

ESPI was created by a decision of the Council of the European Space Agency. It is an Association under Austrian law. ESPI was established by the European Space Agency ESA and the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) in November 2003.
Its statutes were signed in September 2005. For this occasion, the founders issued a message with regard to the expectations they put in ESPI.
