The 3rd European Space Agency Symposium on Space Educational Activities (SSEA) provides an international stage for students and academics to discuss current and future Space Educational Activities in Europe and beyond, focusing on University level activities as well as opportunities for learners and educators at high school. Talks will showcase student projects, some involving real missions in which students design and build satellites which are launched and operated in space. Other topics include: technologies for training the next generation of space engineers and scientists; how Universities and employers can work together so that graduates have the skills needed by industry, and improving the representation of women in the sector.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
The emphasis throughout the conference is on student participation in projects with space science and space engineering themes, including curricular and extra-curricular activities. Submissions detailing new results in a particular field of scientific research are in-scope, but must be presented in this context. Papers and poster presentations on the following general themes are welcomed:
- Small satellite missions
- Space subsystem technologies
- Projects involving ground & airborne facilities (e.g. drop towers, parabolic flights)
- Downstream applications (e.g. the generation of products and services that use data from space)
- Scientific results from student projects (e.g. astronomy, astrobiology, physics, chemistry, Earth observation science, space medicine, engineering)
- Land & aerial vehicles (including UAVs) in the context of space education
- The Educator's Perspective (e.g. pedagogy, technologies to enhance learning, programs & initiatives)
- Employer engagement in student projects & education
- Early career paths - barriers and opportunities
In addition to these topics, the organisers would be pleased to receive submissions on the topic of diversity and inclusion, and widening participation, in space educational activities.
