About this event

  • Event lasts 1 day 9 hours

Global reliance on space-based technologies has increased considerably. At the same time, threats to space assets have proliferated, driven by the developments of counterspace capabilities, cyberthreats, and space debris, among others. These challenges are further compounded by the growing number of actors involved in space activities, the integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence into space systems, and the blurring of lines between civilian and military uses of space services.

The variety of these challenges, coupled with the ever-increasing importance of outer space for humankind, makes it imperative to encourage dialogue among all stakeholders that will help ensure outer space remains peaceful and secure. The 2025 Outer Space Security Conference, hosted by UNIDIR, will provide a timely and vital platform for open dialogue among stakeholders across sectors.

This event will serve as a platform for key stakeholders from the diplomatic community, as well as experts from the military, industry, academia, and civil society sectors to engage in dialogue on the complex challenges surrounding outer space security. The conference will bring together experts to explore technical, legal, and policy solutions aimed at ensuring that outer space remains peaceful, secure, and accessible to all.

This will be a hybrid event.
