1 Sep 2025/PSSI

The Prague Security Studies Institute (PSSI) is looking for a Project Assistant for our Space Security Program. The person will be responsible, under the direction of PSSI’s Managing Director and Director of Operations, for the organization of our flagship event -- the Prague Space Security Conference, as well as other related projects and activities. A key responsibility in this role is to manage email and telephone correspondence with speakers, participants, and relevant ministries and partners, ensuring effective coordination. The Project Assistant will also support the Space Security Team’s research activities and assist with ad hoc tasks as needed.

PSSI initiated in 2011 what is now regarded as the leading NGO space security conference series. Seven such international conferences have been convened to date, in Prague (in 2011, 2016, 2019, 2022, 2024 and 2025), Tokyo (in 2013), and Washington, DC (in 2017), involving high-level sitting and former government officials (both civil and military), senior private sector executives, as well as NGO and other experts from the space security communities of Japan, Europe, the U.S., and its partners. The link to a video summary from the 2024 event can be found here. PSSI plans to hold its 9th Prague Space Security Conference on 14 - 16 June 2026 in Prague, Czech Republic.
