Brno Space Student Conference 2025. Direct connection to space innovators!

The three largest universities in Brno invite those interested in space technologies to the third edition of the Brno Space Student Conference, which they are jointly organizing on Wednesday, April 16, at the rectorate of Brno University of Technology. The one-day event's program will feature lectures on systems engineering, satellite payloads, company presentations, a poster session, and networking. Admission is free for students. Registration is required here.

The field of space technologies is one of the fastest-growing industrial sectors in the Czech Republic. Since 2008, when the country became a member of the European Space Agency (ESA), Czech companies have been increasingly involved in European projects, particularly in the development of satellite subsystems and small satellites.

With the growth of the Czech space industry, the demand for qualified professionals is rising. One response to this is the Space Applications study program at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication (FEKT) at BUT. Promising developments include the growing community of student space associations and the involvement of students in the space industry through internships. Additionally, crucial STEM promotion activities are being carried out at the elementary and high school levels. Another major motivator is the upcoming space mission featuring a Czech astronaut.

This is just a small sample of activities linked to the Czech space ecosystem, which is on the rise. For #brnoregion, home to many specialized companies and universities offering related education, this is even more significant. It is therefore natural that BUT, MUNI, and MENDELU continue to organize the Brno student conference on space activities in collaboration with the Brno Space Cluster and other partners.

The goal of the conference is to develop a platform for networking, discussions, and collaboration—not only among university student teams but also between universities, the commercial sector, and other partners utilizing space applications in various ways. The event will showcase current and upcoming projects in space engineering, technology, and research. More about the program

Who is welcome? The event is especially aimed at bachelor's, master's, and doctoral students, academic and research staff from universities and research institutes, representatives of industry-related companies, as well as other interested individuals, including high school graduates. Don't forget to register or submit your poster! (by April 4)
