Location decision for European security architecture
The European Space Agency (ESA) and the Republic of Poland have jointly announced plans to establish a new agency centre in the Polish capital. The facility will concentrate on civil security and resilience, referring to the ability of societal systems to withstand and recover from crises.
By locating the centre in Warsaw, both parties aim to promote a more efficient and better coordinated development of European capabilities in these strategically important areas. The cooperation is intended to consolidate existing activities and support a harmonised approach at the international level.
Relevance for European space policy
The creation of the centre represents a further step in defending and strengthening civilian operational capacity within the space context. Poland thereby assumes a central role in shaping structures that serve protective tasks outside the military domain.
