'''ARTES 20 Integrated Applications Promotion''' (IAP) was a [European Space Agency](/source/European_Space_Agency) programme that supported the development of services utilizing space assets, such as [satellite navigation](/source/satellite_navigation), [communication](/source/Communications_satellite) or [earth observation](/source/Earth_observation_satellite), with terrestrial systems. Many successful projects and studies created user-driven applications around solving particular problems or opportunities instead of creating technological solutions.[{{cite web|url=http://artes-apps.esa.int/artes-20-overview|title=ARTES 20 IAP Overview|publisher=[ESA](/source/ESA)|accessdate=3 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140904093028/http://artes-apps.esa.int/artes-20-overview|archive-date=4 September 2014|url-status=dead}}][{{cite web|url=https://www.stfc.ac.uk/RALSpace/resources/PDF/Presentation_11.pdf|title=Integrated Applications Promotion (IAP) in the UK|publisher=[Science and Technology Facilities Council](/source/Science_and_Technology_Facilities_Council)|author=Prof. A.

Integrated Applications Promotion Programme was approved on ESA ministerial conference in November 2008 as a new branch of [the Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems](/source/ARTES) programme.[{{cite web|url=http://artes-apps.esa.int/news/member-states-approve-new-artes-20-iap-prgramme|title=Member states approve the new ARTES 20 IAP programme|publisher=ESA|date=25 November 2008|accessdate=3 September 2014}}] The ambassadors platform was initiated in May 2010 aiming to further expand awareness of the programme in Eastern and Central Europe.[{{cite web|url=http://artes-apps.esa.int/news/ambassador-platform-for-iap-central-eastern-european-region-portal-now-line|title=Ambassador Platform for IAP in Central & Eastern European Region portal is now on line!|publisher=ESA|date=3 May 2010|accessdate=3 September 2014}}] Even after its restructuring, ESA IAP supported over 2,000 projects to deliver across over 100 socio-economic goals and [SDG](/source/Sustainable_Development_Goals) indicator.[{{cite web |last=Montanari |first=Elias |date=2 September 2020 |title=ESA Space Solutions / Business Application/ IAP: Socio-Economic Impact Analysis of NEWSPACE |url=https://dl.iafastro.directory/event/IAC-2020/paper/56127/ |accessdate=3 September 2020 |website=IAF Astro |publisher=IAF}}]

=== Calls for Proposals ===
Projects working with no fixed budget or closing date co-funded by ESA up to 50% in case of commercial applications and up to 100% in case of research institutions and universities. Calls of Proposals are divided into 3 major categories.[{{cite web|url=http://artes-apps.esa.int/opportunities|title=Opportunities|publisher=ESA|accessdate=3 September 2014}}]
* Feasibility Studies for identification, analyzation and a definition of sustainable applications and services by utilization of a multiple space data.
* Fast Track Feasibility Studies are focusing on a few selected critical elements of a feasibility studies while being limited in funding and duration.
* Demonstration Projects for pre-operational services with commercial and environmental stainability perspective and access to private funding.[{{Cite web |last=Ginati |first=Amnon |date=26 April 2016 |title=Innovative Funding Opportunities Presentation |url=https://business.esa.int/sites/business/files/Space%20Applications%20funding%20-%20a%20world%20of%20opportunities%20(entire%20session%20slides).pdf |website=ESA Business Applications}}]
