Belgium has its very own national programme supporting research in Earth observation called STEREO (Support To Exploitation and Research in Earth Observation).
This programme, managed by the “Space Research and Applications” directorate of the Belgian Science Policy office (BELSPO), offers to Belgian universities, public scientific institutions and non-profit research institutions opportunities and tools for the development of an expertise in Earth observation and a maximized scientific use of satellite and airborne data.
