What is Our Future in Space?
Join McGill’s astronauts and the world’s top academic researchers (including Professor Lyle Whyte, Natural Resource Sciences), business pioneers, and government leaders in space and aerospace for two days of cross-industry exchange in May. Over the coming decades, as the aerospace sector shifts its focus towards enabling space travel, an integrated space and aerospace ecosystem is expected to emerge. McGill’s Space Research Conference will bring major sectors of the international space and aerospace communities together for two days to examine space topics from multiple perspectives – including engineering, healthcare, law and space science – all with an eye on the future.
McGill’s Bicentennial Space Week provides a dedicated platform for the conference’s theme, What Is Our Future in Space?, as participants will journey far beyond 2022 to focus on critical space issues – 25, 50 and even 100 years in the future.
