Exploring Space, Advancing Human Health — Symposium

As humanity prepares for exploration beyond low Earth orbit, clear parallels emerge with the challenges of an ageing society: sustaining physical and cognitive function, and delivering health support in remote, resource-limited settings and extreme environments. This interfaculty symposium brings space science and medicine together to exchange expertise, explore collaborations, and discuss educational pathways that could carry innovations seamlessly from orbit to patients' home—and back again.

This edition welcomes the European Space Agency (ESA) as a central partner. The event is free and open to the general public. It will be conducted in English.
