The 2023 edition of the Ecsite conference has recently come to an end. As every year, the European Space Agency - who chairs the Space Group, one of the four ECSITE thematic groups - was at the forefront. As usual it was preceded by a workshop, organised by ESA and the ECSITE Space Group, under the theme 'Our Space, Our Planet'. The events took place at the Esplora Science Centre in Malta from 14 to 17 June.
