2025 Security for Space Systems (3S) Conference aims at bringing together academia and industry to present cutting-edge research and innovations in space systems security.
After the success of its inaugural edition, the 2025 conference will expand to include two review cycles and extend to two and a half days, ensuring ample time for in-depth discussions and engagement, to exchange knowledge on the latest security challenges and solutions for space.
In addition to the conference, there will be an industrial exhibition where European companies specializing in space systems security are invited to demonstrate their products through equipment displays or informative posters. This exhibition will offer a unique opportunity to connect with industry professionals, researchers, and stakeholders from the broader security community.
The Security for Space Systems 2025 will be held in November 2025 at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.
