After two remote editions, this year's 'Space CON' marks a return to normality with all kinds of face-to-face presentations and meetings between students and speakers. For three days, in sessions that end today, the attendees have been able to learn the points of view of the industry, the university and the institutions on the different issues that have to do with the Space.

For Ester Velázquez, a graduate of the Aerospace Engineering degree in Aerospace Vehicles and director of 'Space CON', “in contrast to previous editions, the closeness between speakers and attendees has been very noticeable and greater contact and understanding has been generated. It's good to see each other again."

The event has allowed connecting with relevant people from the different branches of the sector, as well as learning about projects that are currently being carried out.

Among others, the head of the 'Galileo' project in Spain and the heads of robotics from the GMV company, one of the most advanced in the industry, have visited the 'Space CON'. For their part, the academic speakers outlined some of their research projects.

Turn for the institutions

The institutional part remains for today. The highlight of the day is the participation of the head of the Spanish Space Committee, Isabel Vera Trallero.

For the director of the event, the students are responding to the proposal. “The feedback is good, there is participation and the presentations are interesting for the attendees”. The 'Space CON' has averaged an attendance of 60 people in its first two days.

Those who have not yet attended can do so today for the last session. To do this, you have to go to the Management building on the Fuenlabrada campus. There is also the option of following the presentations through the event channel at Twitch.
