replay (May 22, 2024) ..."ISS National Lab Research Announcement (NLRA) 2024-7 soliciting proposals focused on applied research and development, translational medicine, technology readiness level maturation, and technology demonstration." https://lnkd.in/er-VGFaz "The purpose of this ISS National Lab Research Announcement (NLRA) is to solicit proposals focused on flight investigations within applied research and development, translational medicine, technology readiness level maturation, and technology demonstration to be performed on the space station. Flight projects selected via this research announcement may be awarded funding to enable mission integration and operations support for projects that will be implemented on the ISS. CASIS, in coordination with NASA, has identified multiple ISS National Lab lines of business that support strategic priorities and programmatic focus areas aimed at bringing value to our nation and enabling a robust and scalable market in low Earth orbit. Technology development and demonstration enabled by access to space brings significant growth potential from the ability to accelerate technology maturation. Through this research announcement, offerors may propose to use the unique ISS environment to develop, test, or mature products and processes that have a demonstrated potential to produce near-term and positive direct or indirect economic impact. This research announcement will follow a two-step proposal submission process. Before being invited to submit a full proposal, all interested investigators must first complete and submit for review a Step 1: Concept Summary."

🌍✨ Celebrating 70 years of scientific excellence! On September 29, 1954, CERN was born, marking a new era in global fundamental research. Yesterday, in Meyrin, we had the privilege of celebrating this milestone in the presence of many of the world's leading figures in science and policy. As we reflect on CERN's incredible journey, we also look forward to its exciting future with projects like the Future Circular Collider (FCC) — a testament to the forward-thinking spirit that has always driven this institution. CERN has firmly anchored itself not just in Geneva, but on the world stage, becoming a beacon of European vision and global leadership in scientific research. Discover how CERN found its place in Geneva and explore the full history of this visionary institution in our special dossier https://lnkd.in/dVA23XsT 📜🔬 Photo : On June 10, 1955, CERN Director-General Felix Bloch laid the foundation stone on the laboratory site, watched by Max Petitpierre, then President of the Swiss Confederation (cppyright CERN). #CERN70 #ScienceForAll #EuropeanVision #Geneva #FutureCircularCollider #ScientificLeadership #Innovation #FundamentalResearch RTS - Radio Télévision Suisse CERN Fabiola Gianotti Paola Catapano CERN Innovation Partnerships Business with CERN #cern
