After a successful cooperation of the Ecsite Space Group and ESA in development of the Rosetta Kit about the Rosetta mission in 2013-2015, the collaboration will continue and new projects will be developed. Space has a tremendous role in the sustainable development of natural resources base, monitoring the state of the oceans and atmosphere, extending our knowledge about life on Earth and beyond. In this context in 2015-2016 the Space Group will be working to develop collaborative projects around the theme “Space for Life”.

As agreed during the Space Group workshop «Space for life» held in Trento last June, the next Space Group Annual Meeting will take place at the National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, Italy on November 3 and 4, 2015. One of the goals of the space group, that includes today more than 100 members, is to exchange and design collaborative projects to better share European space activities with the general public.
