The “EU Space Policy, International Law and Sustainability” (EUSPIL) is a project that focuses on enhancing understanding of European Union (EU) space law, policy, and their relationship with international regulatory frameworks, particularly regarding space sustainability. Led by leading scholars and experts, EUSPIL promotes a value-based approach to space activities, ensuring that space is used in a secure, safe, and sustainable way.

The EUSPIL’s overall goal is the promotion of excellence in teaching, research, and career development in EU space studies. By fostering critical thinking, debate, and the exchange of diverse perspectives, EUSPIL provides a comprehensive educational platform for the next generation of legal experts and policymakers. Our programs explore the EU space law framework and its application within the broader international landscape, equipping students with the tools needed to navigate and shape the evolving space sector.

In addition to academic initiatives, EUSPIL facilitates dialogue between academia, policymakers, civil society, and the media. By connecting these groups through seminars, guest lectures, and public events, EUSPIL ensures that EU space studies remain relevant and responsive to societal needs. This collaboration brings real-world issues to the forefront, providing solutions that positively impact society and contribute to the broader community.

EUSPIL also aims to support EU policymaking by generating research and knowledge that reinforce the Union’s role in the space domain. The project aligns with key EU policies and strategies, addressing pressing space-related challenges, and raising awareness among EU policymakers about the Union’s space obligations. This strengthens the EU’s position as a leader in the global space sector, advocating for the secure and sustainable use of space.

Through engaging content and public outreach, EUSPIL raises awareness about how EU space initiatives benefit daily life, promoting a better understanding of space sustainability. Our user-friendly website provides easy access to research findings, resources, and updates on project activities. By fostering international dialogue, we contribute to global discussions on the future of space sustainability.

EUSPIL is committed to promoting EU values in the space sector and enhancing the visibility of the Union as a global leader in space development. Through effective dissemination strategies, public engagement, and academic excellence, we aim to strengthen the connection between the EU and its citizens, while building a deeper understanding of the importance of sustainable space exploration and utilization.
