EUSPA Open Days 2026, discover the power of EU Space

The event offers an engaging introduction to the world of EU Space for audiences of all ages. Held at EUSPA's Prague headquarters, where the Agency has been based for nearly 15 years, Open Days 2026 marks the only time during the year when the site is accessible to the public. It brings together visitors, professionals and EUSPA staff in the heart of the EU Space Programme, offering a unique occasion to experience the Agency's work and atmosphere firsthand.

More than 500 pupils and students are already expected to take part in the dedicated programme for schools and universities on Friday, reflecting the growing interest in space among younger generations and EUSPA's commitment to inspiring future talent in science, technology, engineering and space-related fields.

The event will showcase the EU Space Programme different components, as Galileo, EGNOS, Copernicus, GOVSATCOM and EU Space Surveillance and Tracking (EU SST), highlighting how these flagship initiatives contribute to transport, emergency response, environmental monitoring, security and Europe's digital transformation.

Increasing awareness and understanding of the EU Space Programme is an important part of EUSPA's mission. Through EUSPA Open Days, the only time during the year when we open our headquarters to the public, we offer citizens a unique opportunity to discover how Europe's space capabilities deliver tangible benefits in their daily lives while building the foundations for a more secure, resilient and competitive future.
