Welcome to Space Resources Week 2025
19-21 May, 2025
Since its inauguration in 2018, Space Resources Week has evolved into a premier gathering for the space resources community. Hosted annually in Luxembourg, it 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 for Science and Technology (LIST)
The agenda of 2025 will be visible here.
In the meantime have a look at the ESRIC YouTube Channel and watch the videos from previous editions.Â
Join us in Luxembourg for the annual Space Resources Week - an international gathering of space agencies, researchers, and start-ups. Taking place May 19–21, 2025, this year’s conference features two parallel sessions, interactive technology demonstrations, and opportunities to pitch new ventures to an audience of global investors and industry experts.
Following the main conference, we invite you to attend our Early Career Space Resources Symposium on May 22, 2025, in Belval. This post-conference event is specially designed for PhD students and early-stage postdoctoral researchers to present emerging research, discuss innovative solutions, and explore future career paths in the rapidly evolving field of space resources.
Whether you plan to attend one or both events, we look forward to seeing you in Luxembourg for a week of insights, networking, and collaboration aimed at shaping the future of space resource utilisation.
Please note that this year, only the main session will be available via livestream.

Space Resources Professional course
This 2-day, in person course aims to provide a broad overview of the space resources field, including the current knowledge of available resources in the Solar System; resource identification, collection, extraction, and processing systems under development; economic and technical feasibility studies; legal, policy, and socio-economic issues; as well as space exploration architectures and commercial ventures that may be enabled by utilising extra-terrestrial resources.
The course culminates with teams of participants developing a space resource utilisation plan to identify, extract, and use resources from space
