ESA_Lab@ is an initiative to create a network for disruptive innovation and cross-fertilisation. Each ESA_Lab@ is administered through an ESA/partner steering committee co-chaired by the ESA Director General and the partner’s dean/president. The steering committee defines and creates research groups to achieve the purpose of the ESA_Lab@. Primary points of contact within each organisation act jointly as coordinators, facilitating an effective implementation of the ESA_Lab@.
