European Space Radiation Shielding Workshop

Radiation shielding is essential to protect sensitive space hardware from the space environment, especially electronics and electrical systems, as well as for protection of crew for human spaceflight. It is considered to be one of the biggest challenges for future missions to the Moon and Mars.

This short workshop aims to map the current state of the art in Europe in the field of radiation shielding for space applications, and to define areas for future research. This will include traditional approaches to radiation shielding as well novel shielding techniques which could be enabling technologies for future missions.

Experts working in non-space domain are also very welcome to attend.

The workshop is in-person only.
