Monday 5th November - UK Space Agency Technology day
A day to inform on technology programmes managed by the UK Space Agency, presenting overall shape and elements currently underway, moreover to provide a perspective on the new programmes and initiatives in space. The need to prepare for future space programmes, which are more and more demanding in terms of performance and cost is well understood. In response, UK Space Agency has embarked on new a Technology Programme (TRL2 to TRL5) which covers the five main areas involved in space systems.
Key components of the day:
-
Provide a UK perspective of technology programmes - ESA and National (NSTP) and updates to IGS, with discussion opportunities
-
The agency’s vision of recent developments within the space cluster at Harwell
-
A high profile event with attendance from whole of the space community and broader sectors
Tuesday 6th November – convened by STFC Innovations and the ESA Technology Transfer Network
A focus on technology transfer and aimed at companies involved in medical devices, automotive, (including motorsport), electronics, sensors, robotics, energy and environmental technologies. Attending companies will become more familiar with technologies developed within the European space program and how they can be applied successfully outside the space domain and in this way contribute to innovation and new business generation.
In addition, we will be presenting some of the 65 patents available for licence from ESA in areas such as communication, electronics, materials and robotics.
Tailored networking (including one2one sessions) allowing you to develop future projects and new business will be a priority for this event.
You will be able to sign up for either or both days.
If you are interested in signing up for one2one sessions with the presenters please visit the profile pages and email Matthew Edwards with your requests.
