Luxembourg space resources week 2025
When:
19-21 May, 2025
Where:
EUROPEAN CONVENTION CENTER, Luxembourg & online
Since its inauguration in 2018, Space Resources Week has become the event of reference for the space resources community.
Space Resources Week is hosted annually in Luxembourg, organized by the European Space Resources Innovation Centre (ESRIC), in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), the Luxembourg Space Agency (LSA) and the Luxembourg Institute for Science and Technology (LIST).
We bring together space agencies, business leaders, researchers and early-stage ventures. The event, like the subject, is truly multidisciplinary, addressing the science, technology, economic, legal and regulatory aspects of space resources.
We are united by a shared vision: Towards the sustainable and responsible use of space resources for our future in space and on Earth. How we get there remains an open discussion. In this edition of Space Resources Week, we are interested in actions for the next 5 years and near-term priorities that will enable the realization of space resource utilization. In the coming years, we need to map resources, plan future architectures for and with space resources and develop roadmaps for translating ground-based research into space technology.
Call for abstracts is open until 15 January 2025, 23:30 (GMT +1)
For 2025, we welcome presentations and posters showcasing state-of-the-art research and development related to space resources; economic and policy studies; technology demonstrations and business pitches.
