Welcome to Aistech Space’s Education & Research (E&R) Program, Ambassador Cohort. By completing and submitting the E&R Programme application form, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these Terms & Conditions.

1. Purpose of the Program

As part of this initiative, we are forming a select group of academic partners to explore applications of spaceborne Thermal Infrared (TIR) data and help shape future developments.

2. What the E&R Ambassador Cohort Includes

Participating institutions may receive:

  • Access to initial thermal infrared datasets
  • 6 tasked images free of charge
  • Additional tasking at discounted rates (indicatively 50%) for up to 6 months or a limited volume
  • Direct interaction with Aistech technical teams

3. Use of Data and Intellectual Property

Participants are expected to:

  • Use the data for academic and non-commercial research
  • Engage on a best-effort basis (e.g. integration into ongoing research, student projects or exploration of funding opportunities)
  • Provide feedback on data quality and applications
  • Acknowledge Aistech Space in resulting outputs, using attribution such as: “Thermal infrared imagery provided by Aistech Space”

4. Participation Levels

Once the program is fully implemented (early 2027), it will include three participation tiers. These are the levels of engagement you could envisage in the future:

Tier 1 – Basic Access
Curated thermal datasets for research and teaching (no cost)

Tier 2 – Research Collaboration
Collaborative research with potential tasking and technical support 

(Indicative scope: funded research / €1k-€5k/year depending on volume )

Tier 3 – Campus Program
Long-term institutional collaboration with coordinated research initiatives 

(Indicative scope: €5k–€25k/year depending on engagement)

(Final scope and conditions to be defined separately if applicable)

5. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to treat as confidential any proprietary or non-public information exchanged within the framework of the E&R Program. 

Confidentiality obligations shall remain in effect for a period of one (1) year following the termination of participation.

However, the provisions relating to data use, intellectual property, confidentiality and liability are legally binding.
