Il programma è interattivo e sisvolgerà in inglese

The Space Enabled Research Group collaborates with development leaders who represent multilateral organizations, national and local governments, non-profits and entrepreneurial firms to identify opportunities to apply space technology in their work. They strive to enable a more just future in which every community can easily and affordably apply space technology. 

The work toward their mission covers three themes: 

1) Research to apply existing space technology to support the UNSDG; 

2) Research to design space systems that are accessible and sustainable; 

3) Research to study the relationship between technology design and justice. 

The presentation will give examples of research projects within each of these themes.
