Design Your Patch to the Stars
Design Your Patch to the Stars
—
A Workshop for Young Explorers
Place: Annecy, France
Dates: June 2025
Open to: NeurAstra Members / Public
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
We are excited to invite young space enthusiasts aged to participate in our upcoming workshop, “Design Your Patch to the Stars” in Groisy this summer. This educational session will introduce children to the fascinating world of space mission patches, exploring their significance in representing the identity and goals of missions to the stars. Participants will also have the opportunity to design their own unique mission patches. Stay tuned!
Cosmic Connections II
THE EVENT IS NOW FINISHED
Place: Menthon-Saint-Bernard, France
Date: 11.10.2024 (9:30 AM – 7:00 PM)
Modalities: In-person
Language: English
Cosmic Connections
— Bridging the Gap between Space Radiation and Space Exploration
ABOUT THE EVENT
“Cosmic Connections — Bridging the Gap between Space Radiation and Space Exploration” is our second in-person event. It will be the occasion to celebrate NeurAstra’s anniversary and delve into the concept of space exploration through the lens of deep space’s main risk factor: space radiation.
(please note: there will be no online version of this event.)
AT A GLANCE
From cosmic rays originating from distant stars to solar particle events emanating from the Sun, the diverse sources of space radiation represent a formidable challenge for space travellers and the future of space exploration. This event will serve as a forum to discuss and shed light on the complex nature of space radiation, emphasising its origins, composition, and effects on human health.
WHO CAN ATTEND IT
Researchers and anyone interested in space exploration, space physiology, and physics.
NAEP Gathering at CERN
THE GATHERING IS NOW FINISHED
NeurAstra’s Educational Programme
— Feynman Promotion Annual Celebration
Place: Meyrin, Switzerland
Date: 20.08.2024 (10:00 AM – 01:00 PM)
Open to: NeurAstra Research Fellows (NAEP)
ABOUT THE GATHERING
To celebrate the hard work and commitment of the Research Fellows of the NeurAstra Educational Programme (NAEP First Edition 2024/2025—Feynman Promotion), we will gather to visit together the centre of particles discovery at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, located at Meyrin, near Geneva on the French-Swiss border. CERN is home to the famous Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, where scientists probe the fundamental forces and particles that constitute the universe.
Being a Celestographer

Being a Celestographer: Keeping Track of Celestial Events & the Passage of Time
—
A Workshop for Young Celestographers
Place: AltaNube 74, Fontaine-Vive, France
Dates: 24.05.2024
Open to: NeurAstra Members / Public
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
We are excited to welcome aspiring young celestial explorers to our workshop, “Being a Celestographer: Keeping Track of Celestial Events & the Passage of Time.” This engaging session introduces participants to the art and science of celestography, uncovering how humans observe and record celestial events to mark the passage of time. Through hands-on activities, attendees explore ancient and modern tools for tracking the skies and create their own celestial records, embracing the role of a true celestographer.
Cosmic Connections I
THE EVENT IS NOW FINISHED
Place: Alp, Spain
Date: 19.01.2024 (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM)
Modalities: In-person / Online
Language: English
Cosmic Connections
— Life Without Gravity
ABOUT THE EVENT
“Cosmic Connections — Life Without Gravity” is our first social event to be held in person in Alp, Spain. The event is thought to explore the fascinating world of organisms’ evolution under gravity and the implications of altered gravity fields for the future of space exploration.
AT A GLANCE
Research conducted in microgravity conditions, both in space and using analogue environments on Earth, has provided critical insights into the physiological and biological effects of reduced gravity on various organisms, including humans. This research is essential for understanding the challenges of long-duration space travel and developing countermeasures to ensure the health and safety of space travellers. It also brings precious information about life evolution and adaptation on Earth.
WHO CAN ATTEND IT
Researchers and anyone interested in biology, space exploration, and space physiology.
