ESA Call for Proposals: Sustainable Wetlands

The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched a new thematic Call for Proposals on “Sustainable Wetlands”, inviting companies and organisations to develop innovative space-based applications and services supporting wetland sustainability.

Wetlands provide essential ecosystem services such as water purification, flood control, biodiversity conservation, and climate regulation, but they are increasingly threatened by pollution, land-use change and climate change.

Through this call, ESA aims to support the development of solutions that use satellite data and space technologies (e.g. Earth observation, satellite navigation or satellite communications) to improve the monitoring, management and restoration of wetlands.

Selected projects will receive up to 75% ESA funding, with a maximum of €75,000 per activity, to conduct a six-month feasibility study assessing the technical and commercial viability of the proposed service.

📅 Opening date: 16 March 2026
📅 Deadline for proposals: 1 May 2026

A webinar for interested applicants will take place on 12 March 2026 at 11:00 CET.
