The 2023 Focus Colloquium on Space Life Sciences and Health to be held at the University of Sydney, 30 June & 1 July, will bring together the Space Medicine community from across Australia to showcase the wealth of experience and opportunity in the field. Since the last Colloquium in 2018 we have seen greater national and international investment in the space sector, including the celebrated launch of the Australian Space Agency which has begun exploring Australia's unique capacity to contribute to current and future spaceflight. The importance of Space Medicine within this environment was highlighted by the foundation of the Australian Space Agency's Space Medicine Technical Advisory Group (TAG). The TAG has laid the foundations for the future of Australian Space Medicine by bringing together international experts from across Australia, to help author a Space Medicine Roadmap focusing on Australia's unique capabilities, resources and skills. This Colloquium will provide an ideal opportunity to discuss the Roadmap, share knowledge and explore how the Space Medicine sector can develop and grow over the next decade.
With a diverse range of international experts actively contributing to Space Medicine research, the 2023 Focus Colloquium on Space Life Sciences and Health provides the opportunity to celebrate the growth of this community in Australia and examine future challenges and opportunities.
We invite you to register to participate.
