ESA 50 Year Anniversary Celebration

Science, Exploration, Inspiration

Illuminate Europe's sky!

On the Monday 26th of May Space Exchange Switzerland (funded by the Swiss Space Office of the SEFRI)  is very fortunate to host the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the ESA Convention in Lausanne. In 2025, the 50th anniversary of the signature of the ESA Convention (30 May 1975) provides the opportunity to reflect not only on ESA’s past achievements, but also on its future perspectives. Come and join us for this celebration! It will be a wonderful opportunity to discover ESA’s past and future achievements, you will meet major space actors like Josef Aeschbacher and our new Swiss Astronaut Marco Sieber. We have the honor of having Guy Parmelin, Federal Councillor, address the audience with a brief opening. Hear what the General Director of ESA-Josef Aeschbacher has to say about ESA’s 2040 vision and listen to exciting interventions about Science, Exploration and Inspiration in space. Small interludes by the Swiss-led troupe The Blackouts will add a special light to the event.

This event is open to everyone and free of charge. Registration is mandatory. If you cannot attend, please cancel your participation by writing an e-mail to info@space-exchange.ch so that we can give your seat to somebody else.
