This SAIG one-day Sandpit will help UCL staff to develop Proof-of-Concept project proposals, ideas for demonstrators and potential industry or sector secondments. The event will be held in conjunction with UCL Innovation & Enterprise and the Satellite Applications Catapult. Potential external partners (industry and others) will also be present. Institutionally, supported by the EPSRC, UCL and the Catapult have agreed to set aside £200k funding to support a range of modest Satellite Applications projects. Successful proposals developed at the Sandpit will be encouraged and assisted to access this funding.

The outcomes will be reported in a Rapporteur’s report following the event.
Topics covered: Past and Current enablers of space; political support; public engagement; policy; law; capability, capacity and technology; Security and Safety
Attendance is by invitation only except for students who can register. There will be limited places and the registration details will be provided on 5 May at the 2nd Announcement.
