Mesures de Positionnement

2018

Space Technologies Studies 2018: results

13 February 2020

The Swiss Space Center organised for the fifth time after 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018 an event dedicated to the presentations of results achieved by the consortium selected in the frame of our national activity “Mesures de Positionnement” funded and implemented by the Swiss Space Office from the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI/SSO).

The eleven projects selected in 2018 come to an end in January 2020 and this event is a unique networking opportunity for the Swiss space community, newcomers in the space business and international stakeholders. More than 150 participants attended the past events.

During this event, the ten projects selected in 2019 in the frame of the “Call for Ideas” funding opportunity will also be presented to the public.
