ISU President Dr. John Wensveen remarked:
“Hosting SSP 2026 at our Central Campus is an exciting milestone for ISU. This decision aligns with our long-term vision, Moon Shot 2030, to strengthen ISU’s role as a central hub for global space education and innovation.
SSP26 will not only bring together participants from around the world but also serve as a launchpad for the next phase of development, strengthening the program’s future impact.”
Since its founding in 1988, ISU has delivered its flagship Space Studies Program across more than 30 host institutions around the globe. SSP26 marks a symbolic return to the university’s roots in Strasbourg — a city at the crossroads of Europe, rich in science, diplomacy, and innovation.
Strasbourg offers an unparalleled learning environment, combining ISU’s renowned faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and a thriving space ecosystem. Participants will benefit from direct access to ISU’s research activities and extensive global network, while engaging with Europe’s dynamic space industry.
SSP 2026 will set the stage for the evolution of the program, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of space education and workforce development. The experience will allow participants to engage with renowned experts, cutting-edge research, and the broader space community while immersing themselves in the European space sector.
