We are proud to announce the first SpaceUp Europe on 22-23 September 2012 at the Cosmodrome in Genk, Belgium. This location boasts the most modern planetarium in western Europe, as well as an observatory and space exhibitions. Located in an attractive nature park within easy reach of Belgium, Netherlands, Central Germany and Northern France. Please join us after summer to meet and discuss the present and future of global space exploration with a European twist!

Being in Belgium, we will make sure to include the good culinary traditions of the country in our event.

Registration will open soon. Follow @SpaceUpEU on Twitter, SpaceUp Europe on Google+ or SpaceUp Europe on Facebook to get the latest news on program details and how to join this unique event! Obviously we will also post all news on this site.

We are looking forward to meeting space professionals and enthusiasts from all over Europe (and beyond) on the old site of the Atlantic soon!
