Organised by the Joint Research Centre’s Copernicus Emergency Management Service and the Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre, this conference will provide opportunities for exchanging knowledge, testing new tools, and connecting with others committed to advancing science-based crisis preparedness and response.

The programme – which will soon be released – includes keynote speeches, panel discussions, poster sessions, and interactive workshops. These formats will host discussions on topics such as early-warning systems for natural and man-made disasters, risk and impact modelling, exposure mapping, foresight and resilience planning, the Union’s Preparedness, among others.

The COSPAR 2025 Scientific Symposium in cooperation with the Cyprus Space Exploration Organisation (CSEO) will be held in Nicosia, Cyprus from the 3rd to 7th November 2025.

This Symposium, themed “Space Exploration 2025: A Symposium on Humanity’s Challenges and Celestial Solutions”, will delve into critical global challenges such as climate change, resource depletion, and space weather, while exploring how space exploration and technology can offer solutions. It will present various matters related to ongoing and planned space programs, fostering discussions on international collaboration, ethical considerations, and the role of emerging nations in space exploration.

The event will bring together a diverse audience from around the world, including representatives from space and non-space companies, space agencies, international organizations, researchers, and the wider public.

The workshop, organised by the European Space Agency (ESA), together with Eurisy and the Norwegian Space Agency (NOSA), will bring together relevant actors from both space and a range of Arctic stakeholders (civil protection, critical infrastructure, resource exploration, and environmental and climate monitoring, protection of indigenous life, etc.) to discuss how space assets can further answer the specific needs of the Arctic. By establishing collaborative dialogue with users’ communities and industry as well as policy makers, the workshop builds on ESA actions for the Arctic Region and will inform future activities.

The International Astronautical Federation (IAF) and its Space Communications and Navigation Committee (SCAN) are pleased to invite you to a Webinar on Perspectives of Satellite-Based Quantum Communications.

Quantum communications is a rapidly developing field, offering a range of solutions that can be applied to space communications. Since the launch of the world’s first quantum communications satellite, a growing number of actors have been looking at how satellites can be used to communicate securely and how they can be used to build the quantum internet of the future.
With the help of our speakers, we will look at the present and future of satellite-based quantum communications.

The webinar will be live streamed on the official IAF YouTube channel on Wednesday 3 April 2024 at 15:00 CEST.

Le bureau du CNES aux Etats-Unis propose un webinaire le 9 novembre 2023 à 10h EST / 16h CET sur l’accès au marché américain, axé sur l’accompagnement des entreprises françaises, en présence de Business France, Connect by CNES, GIFAS, Alliance NewSpace France, Aerospace Valley, ASTech et SAFE.

Seront également abordés les prochains grands événements de ce côté de l’Atlantique (Dialogue stratégique spatial FR-US, Satellite 2024, Space Symposium, etc.).

The space industry worldwide is worth more than €460 billion per year and has been consistently growing at a CAGR of over 6% for more than ten years. It is expected to continue this growth trajectory in the coming decades, reaching €1 trillion.

New space companies in Europe and around the world are creating innovative business opportunities, such as the development of new rockets, small high-performance satellites, and disruptive software applications. Currently, European ventures are significantly undervalued compared to their counterparts in the USA. This situation offers a window of opportunity for investors to capitalize on.

If you are interested in space investments and want to learn more about market growth, conditions, technology development, and business models, the European Commission, EIF, ESA, and EUSPA offer a series of workshops tailored to your needs. The program aims to enhance the skills and investment methodologies of private investment funds that wish to focus on various segments of the space market. By participating in these workshops, you will gain access to:

1. Expert knowledge and insights into the space industry.

2. Information about market trends and growth opportunities.

3. Updates on technological advancements in the sector.

4. Guidance on investment strategies and business models.

NEREUS organises on the  4rth April 09:30-10:30 (Brussels time) the 4rth infosession on the safety and security dimension of space. The session is going to introduce the audience to the EU Space Strategy for Security and Defence. The European Commission jointly with the EEAS published the strategy as a communication on 10th March 2023 (link). The discussion will focus on the use of space for security and defense. High-level speaker, Mr. Guillaume de la Brosse, European Commission, DG Defis will present the EU Space Strategy for Security and Defense. Companies and cluster representatives as well as other regional stakeholders are invited to take the floor to share their views on the use of space for security and defense.

From anti-satellite weapons tests to enhanced space-based defense capabilities, the proliferation of outer space military activities continues unabated. This proliferation threatens international peace and security and jeopardises our ability to sustainably explore and use outer space. It also necessitates a rigorous and academic ‘deep dive’ into the rules governing military space activities. What is allowed? What is prohibited? And what are the inevitable ‘grey zones’?

This webinar will first discuss the prospects for expanding and clarifying the existing international law that controls outer space militarisation and weaponisation. The discussion will then shift to look at the geopolitical impact that outer space militarisation and weaponisation is having here on Earth.

Le Centre Antoine Lacassagne aux côtés de son partenaire le CNES et le Laboratoire Souterrain Bas Bruit, présenteront leurs savoir-faire en la matière et leurs équipements au cours d’un webinaire organisé par le pôle SAFE le lundi 10 octobre 2022 à 11h30.

Une rare occasion de découvrir :

• comment les équipements destinés à la protonthérapie peuvent contribuer au développement et tests de composant en environnement spatial
• comment la reconversion de l’ancien poste de conduite de tir n°1 de la force de dissuasion nucléaire française en site d’expérimentation en environnement bas bruit devient un atout pour les systèmes optiques spatiaux
• comment des industriels ou institutions tels que le CNES peuvent déployer des expérimentations liées au spatial et accéder à des infrastructures trop méconnues et pourtant uniques en Europe
