WIA-EUROPE ROUNDTABLE SERIES: WOMEN TRAILBLAZERS AT LIVING PALENT SYMPOSIUM 2025

Women in Aerospace Europe (WIA-Europe) will be present at the Living Planet Symposium 2025, hosted by the European Space Agency in Vienna, Austria. We invite everyone who has already registered for the LPS or plans to register at the venue to join us for an insightful series of Women Trailblazers Roundtable discussions focused on collaboration, climate, innovation, and the future of the aerospace industry.

These roundtables will be the third of a series of events that WIA-Europe will continue to host, aimed at giving visibility to women experts in various STEM fields

Please note that your registration for one of the panels is not a registration for the LPS. An LPS registration via their website or at the venue will be required to access the programme.
