We work on:
*
Achieving common understanding and taxonomy via interdisciplinary seminars and projects (legal, technical, business).
*
Granting the same level of attention and support to the use of satellite information in Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law cases as is given to other user segments.
*
Supporting the connection between the demand and supply chain and the well-functioning of the market.
*
Convincing policymakers of the necessity to include this specific use of satellite data and information in future policy documents and implementing activities.
