Company Profile
EARSeL is a scientific network of European remote sensing institutes, coming from both academia and the commercial/industrial sector. EARSeL represents the interests of these institutes rather than individuals, although individual membership is possible. Currently, there are about 250 member laboratories.
EARSeL was founded in 1977 under the auspices of the European Space Agency, the Council of Europe and the Europe Commission. These agencies as well as others, are supporting its activities. EARSeL is run by a Council of elected national representatives from each country where there are member laboratories and an executive Bureau, elected by the Council.
