Aarhus University Interdisciplinary Centre for Space and Earth Observations
"SpaCe - Aarhus Space Centre is organised within six thematic themes, each led by theme leads. The six themes are: Life in Space, Earth Observation, Education and Learning, Innovation Hub, Space and Humanities, and Space Exploration."
Working groups have a specific focus and area of interest, and relate to one or more of the five themes. If you want to know more about the activities in one or more of the working groups, feel free to reach out to the work group chairs.
SpaCe supports a broad variety of projects - projects that run over a longer og shorter periode of time
The Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science is allocating funds for the development of space technology through ESA’s General Support Technology Programme (GSTP). Up to EUR 3.4 million has been set aside for ESA-initiated projects focused on the development of satellites, satellite technology, and other space-related technology during the period 2026–2028.
As a professional in the space ecosystem, your participation in this survey will help to identify skill gaps and shortages in the downstream space sector and to provide insights on these skills deficits.
From Danish astronaut fitness innovations to the evolving role of space research in national security, AU SpaCe Day 2026 brought together 100 researchers, students, and industry leaders for a day of interdisciplinary dialogue.
