Swiss Space Sustainability Research Days

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?

Any researcher with an affiliation with a Swiss university, a Swiss organisation, or with a strong connection to Swiss researchers.
