​Overview

Space robotics remains a field largely dominated by men, and visible female role models are still rare. We want to help change that by creating an environment that actively fosters diversity, representation, and inspiration for the next generation of engineers and scientists. 

There will be two talks by leading academic experts in space robotics. These talks will highlight cutting-edge research, share personal career journeys, and address challenges and opportunities in the field. The session will also include an interactive Q&A segment, giving students the opportunity to engage directly with the speakers, ask questions, and gain valuable insights into both the technical and human aspects of pursuing a career in space robotics. 

We warmly welcome participants of all backgrounds, while placing a special focus on engaging female students and early-career researchers.
