Calling all staff interested in space!

We are setting up a Space At Southampton Network for anyone interested in the multidisciplinary potential of space research and its applications.

Wednesday 1 December, 2-5 pm Building 100 Room 4011 (Harvard L/T B).

Purpose of the network is to:

• Increase collaboration between researchers across the University.

• Facilitate capacity building.

• Drive increased enterprise and research income e.g. from UKRI, UKSA, and industry.

• Raise the profile of our space-related activities internally and externally, leading to benefits such as increased student recruitment, greater success with funding applications and enterprise contracts, and collaboration with industry.

• Provide opportunities to develop new teaching modules and programmes, e.g. MSc , which span departments and faculties.

• Train the space sector employees of the future

Space at Southampton is a growing area: Browse the Space at Southampton 2021 brochure and discover more .

All faculties have a link to space, there is no area of research that can’t be applied to something space related. For example, four Health and Biological Science researchers contributed to Why Space? The opportunity for Health and Life Science Innovation report. A white paper published by the UK Space Life and Biomedical Sciences Association in June 2021, which featured at the recent UK Space Conference.

So come to the meeting, find out more, have a say.
