Over two intense days of activities, sessions and workshops, we'll explore a wide range of topics aimed at bringing European space accomplishments closer to the general public. Since 2012, Ecsite and ESA have joined their forces, networks and capabilities to share information about the European space programmes, endeavours and accomplishments within the space sector.
Through the Ecsite Space Group, key players from Europe's space arena, such as the European Space Agency, national space agencies, industries, research institutions, and academia, have the possibility to connect with science communication professionals. With over 200 members, the group benefits from the already established European networks of Ecsite, as well as ESA's European Space network and its Member States. The Ecsite Space Group convenes twice a year, during the Ecsite Annual Conference (in June) and the Space Group Annual Meeting (at the end of each year). Thanks to the support of ESA and its consolidated membership, the Space Group’s ultimate mission is to foster the exchange of ideas and projects with the aim of making the European space achievements accessible to a broader public.
