Space Health Roadmap In-person Workshop 1
This workshop is by invitation only, with a limited number of attendees. This active writing workshop will focus on drafting our technical research roadmap to advance engineering biology tools and technologies for human health and well-being in space and related application opportunities on Earth.
Registration for this workshop is now closed.
Detailed Agenda Coming Soon! The workshop will be held at the J. Craig Venter Institute in La Jolla, CA. Participants can expect the workshop to run from 8:00am-5:00pm on December 14, and 8:00am-3:00pm on December 15.
Workshop Objectives
- Participants will identify and discuss opportunities for advancement in engineering biology to support the health and well-being of human travelers to space, including applications in food and nutrition, medicine, and environmental control.
- Participants will directly contribute to the roadmap by drafting roadmap elements, including breakthrough capabilities, milestones, and discrete technical challenges.
- Participants will have the opportunity to network and share ideas with fellow researchers across disciplines, opening the door to future collaborations and partnerships.
