NSSC 2026

The premier event for students and early professionals interested in space

What is the National Student Space Conference?

The UKSEDS National Student Space Conference, now in its 38th year, is the premier event for students interested in space, uniting them with academics and professionals from across the country to network, share knowledge, and discuss the challenges facing the sector.

We are delighted to be back in-person for NSSC 2026. It is open to all space enthusiasts and everyone who wants to learn more about the sector, featuring talks by leading industry figures, a careers fair, and opportunities to take part in discussions and networking events. This year, we are including a more prominent focus on interactive workshops and skills development.

We offer discounted rates for UKSEDS Members. If you are a student at a UK University or have been in the past three years, you can become a UKSEDS Member for free – apply here!

The non-UKSEDS Member tickets are intended for employed graduates (more than 3 years post-graduation) and other non-students.

An excellent event for the next generation looking at an exciting career in the fast growing space sector
