ESA’s Annual Report
ESA’s Director General is required by ESA’s Convention to produce an annual report to the ESA Council. Historically, ESA’s annual reports were produced under the responsibility of ESA Publications and subsequently ESA Communications, as they were also used for a public relations purpose. For the past few years, they have been produced by the Strategy Department, which also plays a coordination role. On this page you will find the latest edition of the Annual Report, as well as previous editions under 'Related links' below.
