SpaCe – Aarhus Space Centre
Aarhus University Interdisciplinary Centre for Space and Earth Observations
"SpaCe - Aarhus Space Centre is organised within six thematic themes, each led by theme leads. The six themes are: Life in Space, Earth Observation, Education and Learning, Innovation Hub, Space and Humanities, and Space Exploration."
Working groups have a specific focus and area of interest, and relate to one or more of the five themes. If you want to know more about the activities in one or more of the working groups, feel free to reach out to the work group chairs.
SpaCe supports a broad variety of projects - projects that run over a longer og shorter periode of time
At this year’s Folkemødet, SpaCe – Aarhus Space Centre took part in a panel conversation on the growing importance of space for society, research and national security.
