ESA / About Us / ECSL - European Centre for Space Law

Our Membership:

ECSL Members are at the core of the Centre and all of its work. They help promote, foster and enhance space law and policy across Europe and beyond. ECSL Membership has grown steadily as our activities continue to reach a wider range of people in not only different geographic areas, but also across industry, academia and more. It is truly an interdisciplinary network of motivated space (law) enthusiasts. 

Signing up for membership allows you to participate in a variety of events, competitions, workshops and seminars. Furthermore, it allows for a great networking experience and can contributes to keeping you up to date on everything space law related in Europe. The Centre would not exist without its members, as you are part of the decision making process, especially by having a vote at the General Meeting of Members.

In addition to the ability to participate in these activities, the ECSL offers a number of services, including access to ECSL resources and networking opportunities with fellow members.

As a matter of policy, it is understood that certain publications and other information on ECSL activities will be distributed only to members. Furthermore, participation to certain ECSL events is also only open to ECSL members.
