Online, from UK

This webinar explores the challenges facing the space academic community during this pandemic and what support is available from UKSA.

About this Event

The webinar will be Chaired by Chris Castelli, the UK Space Agency’s Programmes Director, and explore the key challenges facing the space academic community during the covid-19 pandemic. The panel will consist of UKSA members of the Programmes and Growth directorates, SPAN, and the Agency team response for monitoring the impacts of the Covid-19 virus.

The webinar will provide you and your colleagues an opportunity to interact with UKSA via moderated questions through a MS Teams meeting.

It is worth highlighting that this webinar is potentially the first of a series for academia and research labs to engage with UKSA, exploring other issues of interest to the sector beyond the current Covid-19 pandemic. These are separate to the sector wide webinars that have been hosted by UKSA and the SA Catapult on alternate Thursdays.
