GLObally Competitive Space Systems Support

The project GLOCS3 (GLObally Competitive Space Systems Support) aims to provide the appropriate support and coordination for the European space systems supply chain stakeholders consultations and all other relevant activities supporting the initial setup and proper execution of the Globally Competitive Space Systems co-programmed Partnership (GSSC, or 'the Partnership'), and providing material support for the initial setup and operations of the private sector stakeholder association (SPACE AISBL) and its founding members.GLOCS3 will create the conditions and provide the resources to establish and implement coordinated consultation processes enabling the European space supply chain stakeholder communities to express their views and enable them to configure the inputs that the project will provide to the European Commission and related institutional stakeholders in the framework of the Partnership.The overarching goal of the project is to enable the European Commission, via the Partnership, to gather a consolidated and consensual opinion from the space supply chain stakeholder communities with a view to configure the contents of the Horizon Europe Work Programme 2025-2027 and plan its R&I strategy for the areas covered by the Partnership in consideration of the coordinated viewpoints of the stakeholders.

The project will thus focus first and foremost on the organisation of suitable stakeholder consultation processes, adapted to the areas of the consultations and the domains concerned by the partnership.

The project will also support the key reporting requirements of SPACE AISBL towards the Partnership, notably the elaboration of the additional activities periodic reports.
