Welcome to the Swiss Space Sustainability Research Days.
This engaging event aims to bring together all the experts from major Swiss research institutions and industries with high R&D needs on the topic.
The topics that will be addressed during our 3-day event are:
- Impact of space activities on the Earth and space environments
- Technologies for space sustainability
- Use of space technologies for Earth sustainability
- Space weather implications on space sustainability
- Implications of space activities on astronomy (Dark and Quiet Skies)
- Law and policy, Ethics, and Economics of space sustainability.
We expect that the event will gather more than 50 experts (PhDs, postdocs, senior researchers, professors, R&D specialists, industries), who will spend 2 days discussing the latest developments in the field of space sustainability. The agenda will be defined by the scientific committee based on submitted abstracts and will include presentations, discussions, and a roundtable.
Space Sustainability should not be a side topic within main Swiss research activities, but a priority!
Our confirmed invited speakers include:
Ludovic Monnerat (Swiss armed forces)
Emmanuelle David (EPFL)
Lucia Kleint (Unibern)
Prof. Jean-Paul Kneib (EPFL)
Dr Natalia Archinard (Space portfolio at Swiss FDFA)
Josef Koller (Amazon Kuiper)
Camilla Colombo (Politecnico di Milano)
Who can participate?
Any researcher with an affiliation with a Swiss university, a Swiss organisation, or with a strong connection to Swiss researchers.
The event will take place on January 6-8, 2025 at Eurotel Victoria in Les Diablerets.
