  • The IEEC is the result of more than twenty-five years of high quality research work, in collaboration with prestigious international institutions. The Institute was founded in February 1996 as a private non-profit foundation, with the aim of promoting R&D in the space field in Catalonia.

    The overall mission of the IEEC is to:

    • Promote astronomical and space research.
    • Become an internationally recognised centre for attracting talent and fostering collaborations, both locally and globally
    • Be an efficient agent of knowledge, innovation, and technology transfer in its field.
    • Raise awareness in society through the communication of scientific culture.

    The IEEC also manages the activity of promoting the NewSpace sector in Catalonia and the development of satellite policy. Among other things, the Institute acts as a reference entity for national and international public and private agents in all matters related to the development of the space sector. In addition, the IEEC represents Catalonia in space-related programmes in Spain and in the European Union, in coordination with the relevant departments of the Generalitat’s Administration and without detriment to their competences.

    On the other hand, it is also part of its objective to promote the establishment of international collaborations on issues related to the space sector and to strategically coordinate the various infrastructures related to the NewSpace sector, as well as to create new ones if necessary. The IEEC supports research and development programmes linked to the space sector, fostering research, innovation, and the convergence of digital technologies with the NewSpace, while promoting and generating a competitive ecosystem to help the sector grow.
