UNIVERSEH European University’s Post

Fantastic response from Cornwall Space Cluster businesses today in Newquay as we explored ideas to unlock the potential of academic research talent. One of the goals of the Developing Business-Aware Academics project is to help businesses access sector-specific skills via a diverse pool of researchers. If you are a business interested in collaborating with researchers to drive innovation, let us know here: https://lnkd.in/eXbmNNCn Thanks to Gail Eastaugh, Devi Whittle, Grant Day, Dave Pollard and Anne-Marie Sefton for the events today.

The next cohort of the online Space Education Course from ARES Learning will be run at two times... one ideal for the Americas, and one meant for Europe and Africa. Which works best for you?🌎🌍 This isn't just an introduction to space science or the history of space exploration. The course explores why space is important to people on Earth, what's happening in the growing space economy, and how we might best prepare for humanity's future in space. The 12 modules include a focus on the skill sets and mindsets needed to succeed in a fast moving unpredictable future, including the Explorer's Mindset, Moonshot Thinking, Design Methods, Operational Mindset, and more. Later modules get into issues of ethics, governance, and sustainability... not to mention avoiding existential threads and achieving our higher aspirations. Though designed with a focus on K12 education, the course is also ideal for informal educators of all kinds, and any space enthusiast interested in an inspiring lifelong learning opportunity. 🚀 Sign up here for the new EU and Africa Cohort: https://lnkd.in/gbTCtWAP And for the Americas, sign up here: https://lnkd.in/gzyxYE2N Of course, if either time works better for you (regardless of your timezone), sign up for that one! #astronomyeducation #careerreadiness #edtech #NGSS #overvieweffect #scienceeducation #spaceeconomy #spaceeducation #spaceexploration #spacephilosophy #spacepsychology #spaceworkforce2030 #STEMeducation #STEAMeducation #workforcedevelopment

UCL joins Space South Central cluster 🚀🤝 University College London (UCL) has joined the UK’s largest regional space cluster, Space South Central, as an academic partner. Space South Central connects business and academia to encourage innovation, collaboration and growth across the thriving space sector in Hampshire, Surrey and the Isle of Wight. The region boasts a £3 billion industry, comprising more than 170 space-related organisations and employing around 14,000 people. UCL’s location will strengthen ties between London’s business and academic networks and key space industry sector partners in the south of England. Space South Central’s work to promote the cluster’s space capabilities overseas will also benefit from UCL’s international profile, building on the region’s annual £1.64 billion of export revenue and £65 million in foreign investment.

ESA scholarship for Belgian graduates available at the International Space University (ISU) in Strasbourg As each year, ESA has made a number of scholarships available to be awarded to European candidates from ESA Member States, having acquired as a minimum a bachelor’s degree with good standing. The requirement of ESA is to have a spread over the different Member States and therefore to give priority to countries which have no scheduled participants. As the next class is being composed, it is noted that at this point in time there are no candidates from Belgium for the next academic year. As a reminder, the studies lead to an accredited M.Sc. degree in Space studies, but the interdisciplinary nature of the program also attracts, beside engineering and physical sciences graduates, students with life sciences, economy, policy and law, international relations and other backgrounds, demonstrating an interest in a career in the space sector.

Intern Insight #7 by OSC's student intern Chad McElroy: Working in Washington, D.C., is showing me how the budgetary process impacts decision-making for agencies as large as NASA and as small as college student governments. Federal agencies generally depend on annual Congressional appropriations for funding, which encourages agencies to prioritize their programs in accordance with anticipated budgets and the surrounding fiscal environment. As budgets can fluctuate year-to-year, agencies must sometimes make decisions that save money in the short-term, yet are not necessarily beneficial in the medium or long-term. A recent example is NASA’s cancellation of the VIPER rover, a mission that would have searched for water ice at the Moon’s south pole after being delivered by a Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) lander. While the rover may have unearthed important scientific insights, NASA found itself unable to support the mission in light of other priorities. This reminded me of my time in student government back at Claremont McKenna College, where as a chairman for our Senate Administrative Affairs and Appropriations committee, I often had to make case-by-case decisions on student budget requests that were dependent on, and highly restricted by, the Senate’s overall budget. Now working in a government agency, I can see how the same dynamics can apply, albeit with a much larger budget!

As you prepare for the new academic year... learn how YOU can engage and motivate students by connecting with their excitement about space! And.. reinvigorate your own love of teaching with a focus on a hopeful future.   You don’t have to be a science teacher… space education helps students meet the standards whatever your grade level or subject area. Your students don’t have to be STEM enthusiasts either… space is for everyone, even writers, artists, and athletes. The space economy is booming and you can help your students prepare to be part of humanity’s multiplanet future! You may not be confident about talking to your students about space... but this course is designed to raise your awareness of what’s possible, and to give you the resources (and proven methods) you need to get results that speak for themselves.    The new cohort starts September 4 and space is limited.

👨💻 4Science always #supported the Research Information Management System realm thanks to the development and support of DSpace-CRIS, the first free and Open-Source extension of DSpace tailored for research output. 💥 That is why we welcome with great excitement the news of the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information. The declaration says: “The research information landscape requires fundamental change. The signatories of the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information commit to taking a lead in transforming the way research information is used and produced. #Openness of information about the conduct and communication of #research must be the new norm.” The #commitments and #pillars that the declaration highlighted are: 🌐 We will make openness the default for the research information we use and produce 🔔 We will work with services and systems that support and enable open research information 🌏 We will support the sustainability of infrastructures for open research information 🔝 We will support collective action to accelerate the transition to openness of research information ❗ At 4Science as a Certified Platinum Provider, lead contributor to the DSpace community worldwide, and leader in Open Science solutions, we believe that this declaration is a great milestone in the progress of Open Science, and it will help to lead the way in the changes that we want to see in the Research Ecosystem where solutions can be #Open #FAIR and #Secure.

This week, I'm introducing a brand new course on Space Sustainability to the Georgia Institute of Technology campus community. 🌍 🛰️ Students in the course will navigate the push and pull between sustainable space policy and practice over the history of space operations, earn familiarity with relevant data resources and analysis tools, and get their hands dirty modeling long-term orbital congestion in low-Earth orbit to develop evidence-based policy recommendations that ensure the space environment remains a safe, operational domain for the socioeconomic benefit of humanity. Learn more about the new course and read the syllabus here: https://lnkd.in/eU_eeRNG. Looking forward to another great semester ahead! 🐝 CC: Georgia Tech Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, Georgia Tech Space Research
