The closing remarks by Pierre Dillenbourg, Associate Vice President for Education, paid tribute to the many students present in the audience. The panel discussions, expertly moderated by Chloé Carrière, were insightful and featured prominent figures in Swiss space exploration, research and industry, including Emmanuelle David, Claude Nicollier, Michel Mayor, Aude Pugin, Daniel Neuenschwander, and Thomas H. Zurbuchen. A special thanks to the student space teams who showcased their impressive work during the event: EPFL Rocket Team, EPFL Spacecraft Team, EPFL Xplore, Asclepios, Callista EPFL, SSA EPFL Team, Space@yourService, and the Gruyère Space Program. The future of the space sector is indeed in excellent hands! #EPFLSpaceCenter © EPFL - Murielle Gerber © EPFL Space Center

✨ Last week, we had the pleasure of running two booths at the Space, Science & Technology event organized by eSpace - EPFL Space Center. 🛰️ It was an incredible opportunity to connect with space industry professionals, exchange ideas, and explore potential collaborations. The event was truly enriching for all our team members who attended! 🚀 We also enjoyed valuable conversations with other MAKE associations, discussing ongoing projects and shared goals. 🔭

Space Superstars coming to EPFL ✨ What an honor to be moderating this event, where all panelists have an incredible career in space, science or technology. This has been one of the most challenging events to prepare as each and every single speaker would deserve the 2-hour slot to tell us more about their path and research. But we made it work! Join us to talk about the future of astronautics in Europe, and the necessity for a public-private handshake in the space sector. PS: virtual guests might also be stopping by for an exclusive address... ➡️ Long story short, make sure to be with us and register: https://lnkd.in/ev7Q9Ugn ⭐️ Starring Emmanuelle David, Michel Mayor, Daniel Neuenschwander, Claude Nicollier, Aude Pugin, Martin Vetterli, Thomas H.
