The EU Space Days, formerly known as EU Space Week, is the Commission’s most important event when it comes to space policy and the EU Space Programme. This year this event will be held in Budapest between 20-21 November 2024.

For the first time, participants will also have the opportunity to explore the potential of space for defence purposes.
The event is organised by the European Commission under the auspices of the Hungarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
With an exciting line-up of panel discussions and networking events, this year’s edition focuses on space entrepreneurship, be it upstream or downstream. Participants will have the opportunity to hear from and engage start-ups and scaleups supported by the CASSINI Initiative and discuss novelties in space research with Horizon Europe beneficiaries.
For the first time, the conference will shine a light on the use of space for dual purposes covering areas of vital interest for the EU such as In-Space Operations and Services (ISOS) and Earth Observation.
The second day is dedicated to skills development and career opportunities in the space sector followed by a networking event.
As the number of participants is limited, organizers encourage early registration for the event. However, the event will be livestreamed on their official LinkedIn account.
