In the long arc of human reach toward the cosmos, the European Space Agency has turned its gaze inward — toward the youngest minds in its orbit. By opening abstract submissions for its November 2026 Exploration Science Workshop in Rome to PhD students and early-career researchers, ESA is not merely filling a program agenda; it is making a deliberate wager that the future of space exploration belongs to those still in the early chapters of their scientific lives. Ten will be chosen, supported, and given a rare seat at a table where strategy is shaped and futures are decided.
