The UK Space Agency is responsible for the UK’s civil space programme, which aims to drive sustainable economic growth, secure new scientific knowledge and provide benefit to all citizens. The Agency’s vision is to ‘lead the new space age’ – but what does that mean? Claire Barcham, Commercial Space Director at the UK Space Agency, will explore how technical innovation is transforming the economics of space and shaping a new commercial space age – and the role governments can play in giving businesses a leading edge. The talk will be followed by refreshments outside the lecture theatre. The talk will be at 7:30pm at the usual location of Wolfson lecture theatre in the Department of Chemistry. The entrance is the opposite side of the building to Bristol-Myers-Squibb Lecture theatre and is opposite the car park- shown by the red arrow on the map. https://map.cam.ac.uk/Department+of+Chemistry#52.197964,0.125242,18 Tickets are £2 (free for members) and annual membership (£7) and life membership (£12) can also be purchased at the event – please bring cash.
