WELCOME to spare project
For a new responsible space.
Horizon Europe’s
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA)
Orbiting satellites and space infrastructure are becoming inseparable from modern life, powering everything from communications to emerging technologies. As activity in low Earth orbit accelerates, Europe faces mounting challenges such as environmental strain on terrestrial and orbital ecosystems, growing competition from global players, and the risk of technical failures or security threats. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the SPARE project aims to turn these challenges into opportunities. Focusing on sustainability, resilience, and competitiveness, SPARE promotes responsible growth in space. Its world-class training programme will equip the next generation of engineers and scientists to integrate technological innovation with environmental stewardship, regulatory insight, and economic strategy, ensuring that Europe’s expanding presence in orbit is safe, sustainable, and strategically strong.
