Ecsite Space Group Highlights
Spreading the word across Europe
The Ecsite Space Group was launched in 2012, answering the need for closer collaboration between science centres, space agencies, and communication professionals to make space science more accessible to the public.
Coordinated by Ecsite and the European Space Agency (ESA), the group builds bridges between museums, academia, industry, and the wider public, sharing Europe’s space activities and supporting new partnerships. The Space Group is now a dynamic network connecting science institutions, space professionals, and science communicators across Europe. It fosters cooperation through joint projects, public events, and knowledge-sharing initiatives. Participants in the Ecsite Space Group share experiences, tools, and best practices to improve how space science is communicated to the public. It promotes collaboration through co-developed exhibitions, public engagement activities, and the dissemination of educational materials and formats.
