MicroGravity: Just Another Research Environment

Explore the value and opportunity from conducting research in Microgravity

UKRI Science & Technology Facilities Council in collaboration with PlastronCRO, Space East and Babraham Research Campus is hosting an event to help the Life Science sector and explore the value and opportunity from conducting research in Microgravity. This unique research environment holds significant potential but is not well understood by the Life Sciences sector.

This event aims to provide clarity, advice and ‘myth-busting’ insights that explain the benefits of Microgravity and encourage participants to co-create ideas and approaches for conducting research in this domain. This event will:

1. Demystify microgravity research through expert insights and myth-busting sessions, highlighting the scientific benefits of this unique environment.
2. Enable co-creation, giving participants the opportunity to develop concepts and approaches for conducting research in microgravity.
3. Map the UK innovation landscape, identifying organisations and activities already engaged in microgravity Life Science research.
4. Promote future Space/Life Science sector collaboration for Microgravity Life Sciences, fostering synergies across industry and academia.
5. Showcase the roles of UK Space Clusters and Health Innovation Networks in supporting microgravity enabled Life Science innovation.
