Join us for the 2026 GNOSIS Conference. A truly global free virtual event – with three conference sessions in sequence over a single 24 hour period – hosted in the Europe/Middle East/Africa; Americas; and Asia-Pacific Regions. The event will bring people together to share knowledge, raise awareness and build the connections needed to tackle the challenges of space sustainability.

The future of space sustainability will not be decided in one country, one sector or one discipline.

Space is often described as a global commons. It has no borders, and its benefits reach every corner of the globe. But those benefits are increasingly at risk from congestion, debris, space weather and other shared challenges.

Where will the solutions come from? Vienna, Washington DC, Beijing, London, Riyadh, São Paulo, Cape Town – and beyond?

Every space-faring nation has a role to play in keeping space safe and sustainable. The Global Network on Sustainability in Space (GNOSIS) provides a platform for sharing knowledge across borders and disciplines, helping to build collaboration and accelerate progress towards viable solutions for the sustainable use of space.

GNOSIS26 is a free 24-hour virtual conference following the sun across the world. The event will highlight shared global priorities, spotlight regional perspectives and create space for voices from across the global space community – not only those most often heard.

Join us to share knowledge, challenge assumptions and work together to keep space safe, sustainable and open for future generations.
