The European Space Agency’s Ministerial Council – more formally Council at Ministerial level – takes place in Bremen, Germany on 26 and 27 November 2025. 

The decisions taken in Bremen will shape the activities of ESA for the next three years, and mark a significant stage in the implementation of ESA’s Strategy 2040. Following extensive preparation along with the Member States, the ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher will present his proposal –  Elevating the Future of Europe through Space. This will be followed by negotiations and commitments from the Member States on the subscriptions to – that is the money they will invest in – the various ESA programmes.
