EPFL Campus, PPB 019
Join us for the 7th edition of the Sustainable Space Hub (SSH) Coffee, an opportunity to connect with the community and explore the latest developments in space sustainability.
We are delighted to welcome Prof. Véronique Michaud, who will present the SLICE doctoral network. The hiring process for the PhDs in SLICE is currently open. SLICE investigates the environmental and climate impacts of space launch systems, advancing research on emissions, atmospheric interactions, and sustainable design. The project provides essential insights to support European policymaking and trains a new generation of researchers committed to shaping a more sustainable future for space transportation.
The call for PhD positions within SLICE is currently open!
During the event, we will also announce this semester’s ClearSpace Prize winner. The prize will be awarded by Jacques Viertl, Managing Director of ClearSpace.
The ClearSpace Prize recognizes an EPFL student whose semester project or Master’s thesis demonstrates excellence and makes a significant scientific or technical contribution to the field of space sustainability.
