EUMETSAT Strategy - Challenge 2025. Summary
In June 2016 EUMETSAT adopted a new 10-year strategy named 'Challenge 2025'. Under its previous strategy adopted in 2011 ('EUMETSAT: a global operational satellite agency at the heart of Europe'), EUMETSAT developed as a global partner and gained approval for new programmes - Meteosat Third Generation (MTG), EUMETSAT Polar System-Second Generation (EPS-SG), Jason-CS and its contribution to Copernicus - shaping the future of Europe in weather and climate monitoring from space. 'Challenge 2025' now aims to further develop EUMETSAT through the realisation of these programmes for the benefit of its Member States and the European Union. The main strategic goal for 2025 is indeed the full deployment of the new MTG, EPS-SG and Jason-CS satellite systems, in a safe transition from current generation systems, and the full implementation of the Copernicus Sentinel -3, -4, -5 and -6 missions on behalf of the EU. Challenge 2025 also reflects EUMETSAT's response to the multi-facetted evolutions of its external environment and its commitment to European and global partnerships involving the European Meteorological Infrastructure (EMI), the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), the EU, the European Space Agency, national space agencies and other satellite operators. This summary presents EUMETSAT's missions, vision, priorities, policy principles and strategic objectives for the next decade.</p>
