Introduction

The Space Components Steering Board of the European Space Components Coordination (ESCC) has the pleasure to announce the European Space Components Conference ESCCON 2016.

The focus of ESCCON is set on all relevant matters to be considered for the definition of policy and strategy directions for space components. The conference is an international forum and is open to all specialists involved in the development, selection, procurement and use of EEE (Electrical, Electronic and Electromechanical) components in space systems.

Presentations and discussions will address areas such as standardisation and harmonisation, technology insertion and validation, investments and funding, availability and sustainability on the basis of real life project and industrial experience and expectations for future evolution. ESCCON 2016 will aim as well at addressing the intrinsic reliability of advanced EEE components in consideration of their application in space systems.

The conference's program will be based on presentations to be given by invited speakers. Therefore, there will be no call for papers. However, should you have any proposals or suggestions to make on the programme of the conference, the Organizing Committee would appreciate to receive your suggestions. Please contact the organisers via secretariat@escies.org.
