The aims to gather experts from cross-cut domains on the possible role of space services in addressing CBRNE risks, to inform the stakeholder and user community about completed and on-going initiatives in the CBRNE domain and to announce the upcoming Invitation to Tender (ITT) on Space Based Services in Support of CBRNE operations.

Participation is particularly encouraged from ESA and EDA (participating) Member States, users operating in both civilian and security environment (e.g. Ministries of Defence, first responder organizations), experts, service providers and technology providers who are involved in the CBRNE domain.
