Do you want to stay up to date with the latest cutting-edge research happening right here at the University of Bremen? Then don’t miss our brand-new lecture series, launching in the summer semester 2025! The series is alternately organized by ZARM and the Humans on Mars initiative every Thursday. Each session will feature expert talks from leading scientists, offering exclusive insights into the latest discoveries and innovations in space science. We look forward to seeing you there!
🛰 When & Where?
📅 Every Thursday at 2 PM (CET/CEST)
📍 Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM), University of Bremen
Human Space Exploration Seminar
Humans living on Mars has been a long-time dream which may now appear within reach. The technological, ethical and environmental challenges are however enormous and require transdisciplinary, ground-breaking science. The Bremen Human Space Exploration Seminar is an exchange platform for scientists committed to envisage and shape a sustainable Mars Exploration program for the benefit of humankind and Earth.
ZARM Talks
From exploring the mysteries of time dilation and black holes to developing oxygen production through artificial photosynthesis and designing new cooling systems for satellites, our seminars will spark your curiosity and inspire your research journey. Be part of the discussion, connect with fellow space enthusiasts, and broaden your knowledge of the cosmos.
