Voor technologie ontwikkeling voor Big Science, heeft de Europese commissie een studie openbaar gemaakt, om publiek-private samenwerking voor technologie ontwikkeling voor fusie energie te stimuleren zie: https://energy.ec.europa.eu/news/new-commission-study-potential-public-private-partnership-approach-foster-innovation-fusion-energy-2024-03-07_en
Ze stellen o.a. voor op het gebied van een aantal breed inzetbare technologieën subsidie calls op te zetten zoals voor Magneten, verhitting middels gerichte straling, remote handling, cryogene technieken en neutronen bestendige materialen.
Event reports
ICSO conference
The 15th International Conference on Space Optics (ICSO 2024) took place from 21-25 October 2024 in Antibes, France, bringing together experts from around the world to explore advancements in optical, optoelectronic, and photonic technologies for space applications. Co-organized by ESA and CNES, the conference provided a dynamic platform for exchanging knowledge on research, development, qualification, and flight experience of optical technologies used in space missions.
Space Tech Expo Bremen
The Space Tech Expo Europe, taking place in Bremen from 19-21 November 2024, is Europe’s largest B2B space industry event, bringing together over 700 exhibitors and 8000 industry professionals. Alongside a dynamic program of conferences and pre-arranged B2B meetings, it offers a platform for showcasing innovations in satellite technology, launch systems, and cutting-edge in-orbit solutions.
NOVA 25 Symposium
The NOVA 25 Symposium, celebrating 25 years of the Netherlands Research School for Astronomy (NOVA), took place on 12-13 December 2024 at the World Forum in The Hague. The two-day event highlighted NOVA’s achievements in astronomy, including science breakthroughs, advanced instrumentation, and industry collaborations. Modern day astronomy is all about collaboration, within The Netherlands (NOVA), within Europe (European Southern Observatory ESO, with the Very Large Telescope and Extremely Large Telescope), and globally (NASA-ESA Space Observatories like James Webb and Habitable Worlds Observatory). The Netherlands is a champion in such collaborations.
