STUDENT DELEGATION
We are looking forward to welcoming you to the two ESA BIC Denmark Student Delegation workshops at Space for Inspiration 2026. The workshops will be friendly and informal project clinics. They are not a startup competition and you do not need to present a business plan. CubeSat teams, rover teams, research projects, technical projects and startup ideas are all equally welcome.

Marta will be present.
Marta will give a brief info session at the hotel lobby.
Warm up for Space for Inspiration with a keynote on one of the conference's core themes: keeping humans alive and well beyond Earth.
A lunar economy is taking shape, and crewed Mars missions are moving from ambition to timelines. Both mean keeping people in space for months, or years, at a time. The human body was never built for that. Preparing it — and keeping astronauts healthy once they're up there — is one of the hardest problems standing between us and a more permanent human presence off-planet. ESA flight surgeon, MD, PhD.
Maybritt Kuypers takes us inside where space medicine is heading: the latest research, the open questions, and the trends shaping the next decade.
Your seat to the keynote is already included.
Salonen is located on the ground floor of IDA Conference, right next to Green Island.
This will be your chance to mingle with Danish and international guests in an informal setting, before the conference formally begins.
