Space It Up! PhD Forum
The Space It Up! PhD Forum will take place from 2 to 4 September 2026 in Alba. The initiative combines the educational dimension of a summer school with the scientific exchange typical of a research forum, highlighting the project’s interdisciplinary approach.
Over the three days, PhD students from Space It Up! will present their research, creating a space for sharing ideas and discussion. The programme will also include keynote talks from experts in the field, offering a forward-looking perspective on future applications, as well as roundtable discussions. These will be organised around specific themes and led by mentors, with a focus on tackling real challenges and developing insights and recommendations to be presented on the final day.
A dedicated session on career orientation is also planned, aimed at fostering discussion on professional paths and opportunities within the sector.
