Topics

Scope of the conference

This workshop will bring together representatives of academia and industry to present current and emerging space projects with strong potential for joint involvement, with a particular focus on concrete opportunities for collaboration rather than general institutional overviews.

The programme will highlight projects seeking new partners, technologies, expertise or follow-up activities from both sectors, offering a platform for direct exchange on possible forms of cooperation. In addition to the presentation sessions, participants will have the opportunity to visit the laboratories of the Institute of Scientific Instruments and join a follow-up discussion dedicated to identifying promising project ideas and strengthening future academia–industry partnerships in the space domain.
