We have been nominated! We are delighted that the National Underground Asset Register (NUAR) has been recognised and shortlisted for the Digital and Transformation Project of the Year Award at the Government Project Delivery Awards. The Awards received almost 80 nominations from across 15 government departments this year, so to be shortlisted is a massive achievement. This is testament to the hard work and dedication of the NUAR team who are building a new government digital service that will help those who plan and carry out the digging work do their jobs more effectively and safely; improving not only public services but also people’s lives. We cannot wait to attend the Awards ceremony on the 5 February next year to celebrate the achievements of our team as well as the excellent work carried out in project delivery across government. #GovernmentProjectDeliveryAwards #ProjectDeliveryProud

We’re taking on the role of Chair of CEOS (Committee on Earth Observation Satellites). 🛰️ CEOS coordinates global observations of the Earth from space, benefitting everything from climate monitoring to disaster management. 🌍 The UK Space Agency’s role as Chair will focus on 4 key areas: 1. Creating opportunities for knowledge sharing and exploring how CEOS can unlock Earth Observation data for public sector services. 2. Working with CEOS and JAXA: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency to boost the implementation of Earth Observation data in the next global stocktake for climate action. 3. Using UK expertise to promote space-based methane measurement guidelines and support the UK’s commitment to reducing methane emissions – a crucial step towards addressing climate change. 4. Inspiring the next generation by teaching students around the world about the vital role satellite Earth Observation plays in tackling climate change, environmental protection, and disaster management.
