Event Information

Open to

All

Organiser

Eleanor Armstrong and Divya Persaud - UCL Doctoral Students

Our speakers come from an exciting range of expertise - space scientists, historians, computer scientists, policy consultants, artists - to discuss pressing issues in ethics, space law, engagement, and generally "space and society".
 
This event is an experiment in virtual conferencing - we proposed the project pre-COVID to be entirely virtual, ground-up, and access-centred. All of the material will be uploaded to our website ahead of time in a "flipped-classroom" model. Because of this we've received a lot of attention across academic fields and in the media in how a conference built virtual ground-up might work.
 
We'd love for you to join us! Please also feel free to forward to others who may be interested.
