BACKGROUND This initiative was announced as part of the “ 50 Years of ESA/100 year Roy Gibson, Session – Roy Gibson – The Golden Age of EO ” session moderated by Volker Liebig, at the ESA Living Planet Symposium in June 2025, and in the presence of ESA Director General, Josef Aschbacher, and ESA Director of Earth Observation Programmes, Simonetta Cheli , with impressive participation from international leaders who shaped space and the golden age of earth observation.   The Fellowship, in honour of Roy Gibson – the first Director General of ESA, serving from 1975 until 1980 – recognises the critical importance of space policy and diplomacy in times of unprecedented geo-political and geo-economic shifts, which also affect space. Its purpose is to harness excellence in research and policy analysis that will contribute to ESPI’s overall vision of building a strong Europe as a Trusted Partner to the World. A joint ESPI-ESA initiative , the Fellowship will :...
