Event Durham

In the last decade, the UK space industry has transformed into one of UK’s fastest growing industrial sectors. However, the wide range of opportunities offered by this development is not always apparent to young researchers in academia and beyond.

This summer school will offer a multi-disciplinary overview on space research in academia and the related activities in industry as well as address the regulatory framework for space-related activities. The lectures will provide a comprehensive overview of the broad range of opportunities offered by the exploration of space and the latest developments across several disciplines and sectors. The participants will be able to develop their knowledge further during workshops, with additional sessions on public outreach, careers options and resilience during post-graduate studies enhancing their skill set. The attendance to the summer school is expected to be in-person and the capacity is limited to 50 participants.
