Building on the success of the 2024 and 2025 editions, we are delighted to announce the third edition of the European Space Agency\u2019s SPAICE Conference<\/strong>, to be held in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPAICE 2026<\/strong> will bring together leading researchers, engineers, and industry experts at the intersection of artificial intelligence and space exploration<\/strong>. As AI continues to transform the way we design, operate, and understand space missions, SPAICE offers a unique forum to exchange ideas, showcase breakthroughs, and shape the future of intelligent space systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We invite scientific contributions<\/strong> and innovative applications<\/strong> addressing all aspects of AI for space: from on-board autonomy and data-driven mission operations to Earth observation foundation models, planetary exploration, and AI applications for space safety. Submissions fostering cross-disciplinary dialogue between AI research, space engineering, and mission science are especially encouraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us in fostering fruitful discussions, inspiring collaborations<\/strong>, and a shared vision for the future of AI-powered space exploration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned for further details on key dates, themes, and submission guidelines, and prepare to be part of the next frontier where Space meets AI: SPAICE 2026<\/strong>. As a wise master once said: “Patience you must have my young Padawan<\/em>\u201d. We will regularly update the webpage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
