Join us for the TODAY Boryung IAF Global Networking Forum (GNF) session at the Red Hall, Level 1, North Wing of the MiCo Convention Centre from 14:10 to 14:40. As human spaceflight durations increase, the importance of Space Healthcare grows, given the significant impact of the space environment on human health. Recent research from Johns Hopkins Medicine revealed that bioengineered human heart tissues weakened and developed irregular beating patterns after 30 days in microgravity, showing only half the contraction strength of Earth samples. Click the news to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gdhavibi In light of this significant finding, our GNF session will feature prominent representatives from European space agencies and institutions focused on Space Healthcare. We will discuss opportunities for international collaboration among space agencies, governments, industries, and academia to build an accessible Space Health Ecosystem for all. Additionally, we will explore biomedical and life science research addressing critical healthcare risks in space and how efforts can tackle challenges on Earth by leveraging the unique microgravity environment. Be part of the conversation, explore collaborations in the Space Healthcare sector, and learn how Humans In Space and its global partners drive advancements toward sustainable multi-planetary human life. #HumansInSpace #GlobalNetworkingForum #2024IAC #Space #Healthcare #Infrastructure Aurelia Institute AIAA International Astronautical Federation Rakia Mission Space Foundation
