In plain English
The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology, through the UK Space Agency, is holding an online market engagement webinar on 10 November 2026 (11:00 to 12:00, Microsoft Teams) about research and development funding for satellite-enabled tools to manage heat and humidity risks in NHS estates across the UK.
