Since its inauguration in 2018, Space Resources Week has become the event of reference for the space resources community. 

Hosted annually in Luxembourg, Space Resources Week is organised 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 of Science and Technology (LIST).

The event brings together space agencies, industry leaders, researchers and early-stage ventures. It is, by design, multidisciplinary, addressing the scientific, technological, economic, legal and regulatory dimensions of space resources. 

We share a common ambition: to advance the sustainable and responsible use of space resources for our future in space and on Earth.

In this fifth-anniversary edition, celebrating five years of ESRIC, we take the opportunity to reflect on what has been achieved so far, how far the community has come, and what we aim to accomplish in the years ahead.

Looking forward, we need to map resources, plan future architectures for and with space resources, and develop roadmaps for translating ground-based research into space-ready technologies.

We’re looking for high-quality presentations that showcase cutting-edge research, technology demonstrators and new concepts across the full space resources value chain.

Academic presentations

Each year, Space Resources Week invites members of the space resources community to submit abstracts for presentation at the conference. This process is intended to showcase current research, technological developments and commercial initiatives, and to facilitate structured exchanges between stakeholders.

We have put together a set of suggested themes to help authors position their contribution. Abstracts may align with one or more of these themes, or address other relevant aspects of space resources, provided the link to the field is clearly articulated.

Business pitches for early-stage ventures

Present your vision and idea to an audience of global industry leaders, investors, and researchers. 

Technology demonstrations 

We invite proposals for live technology demonstrations that can be conducted at the conference venue, enabling interactive engagement with participants.
 
Note: we will review the interest in providing dedicated space for technology demos
