ESA’s Council of Ministers

The Council is ESA's governing body and provides the basic policy guidelines within which ESA develops the European space programme. Each Member State is represented on the Council and has one vote. ESA is headed by a Director General who is elected by the Council every four years.

The ESA Council meets as and when required and at least twice a year at delegate level and regularly at ministerial level. From time to time, joint and concomitant meetings of the ESA Council and the European Union Council are organised and are referred to as 'Space Council'.

The ESA Council at ministerial level 2022 (CM22) took place on 22-23 November in Paris. Find out more about the proposal at vision.esa.int, and the outcome of the meeting at ESA - Ministers back ESA’s bold ambitions for space with record 17% rise.
