to be held December 2-4, 2026 in Venice, Italy. Interstellar space is not the domain of any one discipline. It demands insight from across the full spectrum of human knowledge, creativity, and professional practice. While this includes science, engineering, philosophy, communications, media, policy, and the arts, these are only examples. We welcome contributions from any field, industry, or perspective that helps advance interstellar exploration, understanding, and public engagement.

The symposium will create space for presentations, dialogue, and collaboration across the technical, human, cultural, and strategic dimensions of humanity’s interstellar future.

Abstracts should be submitted to Registrar@irg.space
