Hands-on Workshop on ESA Star: Practical Troubleshooting and Q&A

ESA Technology Broker Czechia at the Technology Centre Prague invites Czech companies to join a short online workshop focused on ESA Star — the European Space Agency’s portal for company registration and access to selected ESA services and opportunities. The online workshop will take place on 22 April, 10:00–10:30, and will be held in Czech only. Registration is availabe under this form.

The Hands-on Workshop on ESA Star: Practical Troubleshooting and Q&A, will provide a practical introduction to esa-star Light, explain the most common issues users face, and offer clear guidance on how to solve them. Participants will learn how to navigate the system, what to check in typical situations, where to click, and how to proceed when something does not work as expected. There will also be time for open questions and practical tips based on real user experience.

The workshop will also explain the role of Light Registration within the broader ESA supplier framework. In ESA terms, Light Registration is the entry-level registration that gives a company access to esa-star services up to the proposal submission stage. For later contractual steps, Full Registration is required. This distinction is often misunderstood, so the training will address it directly and in context.

A substantial part of the session will be dedicated to troubleshooting. Participants will see typical cases related to registration, supplier access, incomplete profiles, and uncertainty about next steps in the system. The aim is simple: to make the platform easier to use by showing where to look, what to verify, and how to proceed systematically when something does not work.

There will also be time for questions from participants. Companies that are considering cooperation with ESA should find the session useful as a practical first orientation and as a way to avoid common mistakes early in the process.
