Cosmic Connections II
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” 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 Annual Meeting at CERN
NeurAstra’s Educational Programme
—Feynman Promotion Annual Celebration
Place: Meyrin, Switzerland
Date: 20.08.2024 (10:00 AM – 01:00 PM)
ABOUT THE EVENT
To celebrate the hard work and commitment of the Research Fellows of the NeurAstra Educational Programme (NAEP First Edition 2024/2025—Feynman Promotion), we gathered 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.
Cosmic Connections I
Place: Alp, Spain
Date: 19.01.2024 (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM)
Modalities: In-person / Online
Language: English
“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.
