Swiss Sustainability Research Days
6 January 2025 - 8 January 2025
Welcome to the Swiss 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)
- Camilla Columbo (Politecnico di Milano)
Who can participate?
