Electronics Materials & Processes for Space (EMPS) Workshops

The EMPS Workshops promote the development and awareness of materials and manufacturing processes utilised for Spacecraft Applications and enable industrialists, technicians and students to network together, and with members of the space community. Workshops are a University of Portsmouth (School of Engineering) initiative which started in 2010. The Workshops are held at least once per year, and typically at the site of an ESA-Approved Skills Training School. Additional Workshops held at the University, at ESA-ESTEC, or another location can be agreed by the organisers.

The Workshops are non-profit making and are managed as having a charitable status. The registration fees are kept to a minimum, aiming to just cover direct costs. Should any monies be accrued during the course of any year, that money will be used solely for promoting and supporting future workshops.
