Name: 19th ESPI Autumn Conference: Europe as a Space Power – Directionality & Priorities of Strategic Action
Start: 2025-10-28T00:00:00+01:00
End: 2025-10-29T23:59:59+01:00
Location: Vienna, Austria

Oct 28 - Oct 29

For the first time in Autumn Conference history, the Conference will convene at the Vienna Rathaus.

Space is an arena of power politics and so, increasingly, a tool of international power projection. The place of Europe in space as a strong actor and trusted global partner is having growing pains. In spite of its landmark achievements and solid foundations, Europe today lacks the political will — at the true scale of its economic power and talent — to assert itself as a full space power.

The 19th edition of the ESPI Autumn Conference will address the pathways for Europe to become a full-fledged space power and reinforce its role as a partner to the world, bringing together high-level European and international stakeholders.
