Don Pettit, on Expedition 6, made quite a study of sprites from the ISS.  He took a tremendous number of handheld photos (I'm sure they're on the web somewhere...) as well as vidoe.  I hope ESA is tapping into those resources as well.

Lot's of work has been done, and photos taken -- just not by ESA yet, so it doesn't count.  :-)
