Our Goals
A research roadmap for the study and preparation of future human reproduction in space is a critical step towards enabling safe settlements of new worlds beyond Earth. Step-by-step we want to draft the research roadmap for all reproductive stages (eventually the full 9 month cycle) in space. This ambitious goal will require several expert symposia.
We organize symposia to develop and establish consensus around this roadmap and its building blocks. This online event is the start of a 4-5 year symposium series to gradually define the multi-decade research roadmap. Each symposium results in a whitepaper and press release. We bring together reproductive and space life sciences researchers, ethicists, space technology, geopolitics and legal professionals from around the world to accomplish that space reproduction becomes a feasible frontier for generations to come.
Our Progress
1. Successful first expert symposium
On Sept. 26th & 28th 2025 we organized the Symposium for the Study of Human Reproduction in Space. It was an invitation-only-event with valuable expert contributors. This first symposium identified primary challenges within different domains with a focus on discussions and collaborative workshops. Excited participants felt it was a great succes and the start of an ongoing collaboration with a platform for dialogue and research.
2. Whitepapers
Currently we are finalizing a whitepaper that will be based on the outcomes of the symposium. The whitepapers are all peer reviewed, used for scientific publications and available on this page shortly. The first paper will be promoted in an international press release in Q1 2026.
3. Enriching the consortium
The Space Reproduction Roadmap Consortium (SRRC) is established to initiate and coordinate the roadmap development and organizing of the symposia. An integrated effort is imperative to accelerate progress and cohesion. SRRC will reach out to additional research partners and governing bodies to enrich the initial group of partner organizations.
4. Roadmap building blocks
The roadmap defines research elements with specific timeline and budget. Draft building blocks mature during following symposia.
