This EPEC × ESA workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore how future space missions and scientific instruments are conceived long before any technical development begins. Led by Jörn Helbert, Head of the Solar System Section in ESA’s Science Engagement and Oversight Office, this condensed session will provide early-career researchers with practical insights into the earliest stages of mission and instrument proposal development, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how new ideas can evolve into future space exploration projects.
Participants will have the opportunity to discuss how early-career scientists can contribute fresh perspectives to future missions. Combining practical guidance with open discussion, the workshop offers a valuable opportunity to gain insider knowledge, connect with an ESA representative, and explore pathways for becoming involved in the next generation of planetary science missions.
