Michelle Hermes Email & Phone Number

Curious, adaptable, and hard-working young professional with an international background, passionate about learning new things and tackling new challenges. My general policy interests include climate and space policy, the transatlantic relationship, and questions of European strategic autonomy. I enjoy quantitative data analysis and research and focusing on topics that bridge science and policy questions. I am currently a Policy Officer at EARSC, the European Association of Remote Sensing Companies, working towards promoting the European Earth observation industry and advocating for satellite-derived data and services at the EU level. Previously, I worked at the German Marshall Fund of the United States focusing on transatlantic relations, the geopolitics of cybersecurity, and event management, as a Research Fellow at the Center for Space Governance focusing on Space for SDGs and a multitude of other research topics, and as a researcher with the Space Power and Policy Applied Research Consortium, conducting background research and policy analysis for the establishment of an Australian Space Workforce Strategy. I also held traineeship positions at the European Space Policy Institute where I focused on analyzing the integration of space-based data into national and EU-level climate policy, as well as at NASA. I am also an alumna of the Fulbright Austria USTA program.I look forward to connecting!
