This workshop is the 2026 edition of its continuing event programme, organised by European Space Agency (ESA) in Noordwijk. The Noordwijk workshop connects spacecraft thermal control, thermal analysis and modelling and heat-transfer hardware for researchers and engineers, university and laboratory teams, doctoral and early-career researchers and technical programme specialists.
About European Space Thermal Engineering Workshop
European Space Thermal Engineering Workshop is a workshop scheduled for 6–8 October 2026 at ESA/ESTEC, Noordwijk, Netherlands. The 2026 European Space Thermal Engineering Workshop in Noordwijk brings spacecraft thermal control, thermal analysis and modelling, heat-transfer hardware and testing and qualification together rather than treating them as separate subjects. The 2026 European Space Thermal Engineering Workshop in Noordwijk uses a programme-led format built around specialist presentations, discussion and direct exchange between the communities represented. This format gives researchers and engineers a practical way to compare technical priorities, current applications and the organisations active at the 2026 European Space Thermal Engineering Workshop in Noordwijk. For the 2026 European Space Thermal Engineering Workshop in Noordwijk, the connection between spacecraft thermal control and thermal analysis and modelling is central: one establishes the primary subject, while the other shows how that work is developed, tested or applied. The 2026 European Space Thermal Engineering Workshop in Noordwijk also places heat-transfer hardware beside testing and qualification, making the interfaces between research, engineering, policy and delivery easier to follow.
Event history and organiser
The 2026 European Space Thermal Engineering Workshop in Noordwijk forms part of a continuing event series. For the 2026 European Space Thermal Engineering Workshop in Noordwijk, European Space Agency (ESA) is the organiser and publishes the information used to plan attendance. Across this series, the stable thread for the 2026 European Space Thermal Engineering Workshop in Noordwijk is attention to spacecraft thermal control, thermal analysis and modelling and heat-transfer hardware; dates, venues and programme details are set for each individual meeting. Continuity for the 2026 European Space Thermal Engineering Workshop in Noordwijk comes from its specialist community and subject focus, not from repeating an identical agenda from one meeting to the next. The 2026 European Space Thermal Engineering Workshop in Noordwijk meeting at ESA/ESTEC, Noordwijk, Netherlands gives the series a specific host-city and venue context while retaining its established professional purpose.
Topics and themes
The Noordwijk workshop connects its core subjects through the workshop format, showing how specialist work moves between research, engineering, policy and practical use.
- Spacecraft thermal control: At the Noordwijk workshop, this theme establishes the main technical context and links it with thermal analysis and modelling in current projects and professional practice.
- Thermal analysis and modelling: Noordwijk workshop sessions help participants understand how thermal analysis and modelling depends on heat-transfer hardware, shared methods and informed technical decisions.
- Heat-transfer hardware: The Noordwijk workshop uses this subject to connect specialist evidence with testing and qualification and the organisations responsible for delivery.
- Testing and qualification: Work at the Noordwijk workshop focuses on the constraints, methods and applications that shape testing and qualification, including its relationship with mission thermal design.
Who should attend?
The principal audience for the 2026 European Space Thermal Engineering Workshop in Noordwijk is researchers and engineers, university and laboratory teams and doctoral and early-career researchers. In Noordwijk, these groups can use the workshop to place spacecraft thermal control beside thermal analysis and modelling and identify the programme areas closest to their responsibilities. Technical programme specialists bring a complementary perspective where their work intersects with the professional community at the 2026 European Space Thermal Engineering Workshop in Noordwijk. Relevant agency and industry teams may also find a strong fit in Noordwijk sessions addressing heat-transfer hardware. The 2026 European Space Thermal Engineering Workshop in Noordwijk is less suited to people seeking unrelated general-interest content because its value comes from a defined focus on spacecraft thermal control.
