The organization and implementation of this SIGN impulse event are fully supported through external funding sources. No financial resources from the budget of SIGN e.V. have been employed in its preparation, execution, or related activities.
The SIGN Impulse Event “Space as an Interdisciplinary Frontier: Science, Technology, and Society in the Aerospace Era” explores space as a new arena for interdisciplinary research, technological innovation, and societal reflection. Space is no longer only the domain of astronomy and aerospace engineering. It now connects physics, materials science, computer science, Earth observation, medicine, law, economics, security studies, and the social sciences.
The symposium will address key developments of the aerospace era, including satellite technologies, sustainable space infrastructures, space governance, technology transfer, and the role of space-based systems in tackling challenges on Earth. It will bring together researchers, students, and experts to discuss how interdisciplinary collaboration can open new perspectives for science, industry, and policy.
As the network of Italian researchers in Germany, SIGN e.V. aims to use this event as a platform for strengthening scientific exchange between Italy and Germany, making excellence visible across disciplines, and encouraging young researchers to take an active role in shaping Europe’s aerospace future.
