A successful conference of ministers in charge of space activities has secured an on-going commitment to the ESA Telecommunications and Integrated Applications Directorate activities, including approval for the start of two new programmes, one of which is the Integrated Applications Promotion (IAP) Programme (ARTES element 20, Phase 1).

The two-day conference (25-26 November 2008) resulted in resounding approval and continued support for telecommunications activities.
