OUR PARTNERS

Addressing the complex challenges in space requires bringing together insights and expertise from across disciplines and organisations to advance a common agenda for space exploration and understanding. The University of Oxford collaborates globally across government, industry and with other academic institutions. This global network strengthens the evidence base to inform decision-making. With Europe’s leading space cluster with over 100 companies and government organisations just down the road at Harwell, new partnerships have emerged over the years with the European Space Agency and several companies. We invest heavily in strategic partnerships, making sure the relationships with our partners are front and centre to what we do.

    Our one-to-one partnership with the European Space Agency enables collaborative research and translation across a range of space topics from artificial intelligence to extra-terrestrial geology between University and ESA staff. We conduct projects and training as well as joint events and hosting interchange of staff as well as developing new projects together.
