UKSEDS National Student Space Conference

UKSEDS is hosting the next National Student Space Conference (NSSC 2024 - UKSEDS) in Bristol on 2nd-3rd March 2024! To add to the continuing excitement, the tickets for the conference are on sale and you can get them here! Hurry up and make sure you get them fast as we expect this to be a sell-out event!

The National Student Space Conference is an event for students unlike any other, where students can meet and network with potential future employers, prominent academics and not to mention fellow students. All this while attending talks and panels with many great speakers to be announced over the coming weeks. Also for this year, we have created a forum for active discussions, to coordinate travel and Q&A with regards to the conference so that you may have the best experience possible. You can find more about this and other information on our NSSC 2024 Community Hub here.
