It is my great pleasure to inform you that the VIIth Space Resources Conference will be held on 23 and 24  May 2023 at AGH University in Krakow, Poland. The Conference will be mainly an on-site event. A few virtual presentations will be available on demand.

Several years ago, a new era of space exploration started. The new space and deep space subjects are currently being extensively researched, and many new developments have already occurred.

The Space Resources Conferences are organised to provide an open forum for discussion on the state-of-the-art technologies applicable to current challenges of space exploration and the use of space resources to improve the living conditions of humans and protect  Earth’s natural environment.

However, this year’s conference will focus not only on future concepts and new visions. It will also look at how to adopt the current research results for space resource extraction, transportation, and manufacturing in space and how to develop settlements on the Moon and Mars.

Previous Space Resources conferences attracted many researchers and practitioners in related fields from around the world. The purpose of the Space Resources Conference is to bring together leading international researchers, developers, and practitioners to cultivate synergistic exchanges of ideas and practices. The conference will offer plenary and invited talks, contributed oral and poster presentations, special sessions, industry tracks, panel discussions, and tutorials. Social and cultural events will also take place to foster networking among the participants. We trust that you will find the Space Resources conference professionally rewarding and stimulating as well as enjoyable.

Welcome to the Space Resources Conference 2024!
