Space is no longer a standalone sector.

The second edition of the ESPI–FSR Summer School on Space Policy brought together professionals from across disciplines to explore how space is becoming increasingly integrated into the systems that shape our economies, public services and societies.
Under this year's theme, "Space Beyond Space: The Impact of Space Integration across Sectors", participants examined the role of space in energy and infrastructure, digital transformation, natural resource management, security, regulation and the wider space economy through lectures, panel discussions, group activities and a policy debate.

Among this year's instructors, ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti invited participants to look beyond traditional perceptions of the sector. As she noted:
"𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘺, 𝘸𝘦'𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴... 𝘈 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘥𝘫𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴, 𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦-𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭."

A sincere thank you to all our instructors, speakers and participants for making this year's Summer School a valuable opportunity for learning, discussion and exchange.

Today marks the start of a new chapter for our colleague Ilaria Conti, as she begins her new role in Institutional Relations at the European University Institute.

Before moving just a little further across the EUI, Ilaria sat down with us to reflect on more than a decade at FSR: from building the FSR Gas Area and helping Lights on Women grow, to the colleagues, experts, partners, and friends who shaped her time at the FSR.

This is not quite a goodbye, but it is a good moment to look back, say thank you, and wish Ilaria every success in her new role ✨ We look forward to continuing to work with you across the EUI!

🗣️ "The core demographic trends in Europe are very clear. Population is shrinking because fertility is very down... and this combined with increasing life expectancy creates a very ageing population.

In this interview, Letizia Mencarini, Professor of Demography at Bocconi University, explores the link between Europe's demographic challenges and gender inequality. Drawing on her research on family demography, labour markets, and public policy, she explains how unequal care responsibilities continue to shape women's careers, earnings, and pensions across Europe.

She also reflects on why addressing demographic change requires policies that enable both women and men to balance work and family life, from accessible childcare to adequate parental leave.

These were the questions at the heart of Neha Sakka's acceptance speech as she received the 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗟𝗨𝗖𝗘 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱.

Drawing on her own experience, Neha reflected on the barriers that prevent many people from contributing to the green transition. She challenged the idea that the opportunity to tackle climate change should depend on access to education, language, or financial means.
🎯 Through the Trust EV Awareness Oath Program (TEVAOP), she is working to make green-transition knowledge more accessible, delivering technical training in local languages and helping thousands of young people develop the skills to participate in the energy transition.

▶️ Watch her acceptance speech to hear why she believes the green transition should be shaped by talent and ideas, not by unequal starting points.

How should governments support carbon capture and storage (CCS)?

As the EU scales up CCS to decarbonise energy intensive industries, policy design will play a key role alongside investment.
↪️ In this article for 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, Marzia Sesini, Adrien Nicolle and Burçin Ünel explain how CCS works and examines how different European approaches, including Denmark's experience, allocate costs and risks across the CCS value chain.

The analysis builds on the FSR Policy Paper '𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗢𝟮 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲-𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀', which maps emerging models of CO₂ transport governance and examines how different governance approaches support infrastructure development. 🔗 https://loom.ly/1QnvzNs
