Space Rendezvous is a recurring event held twice a year by KTH Space Center, bringing together students, researchers, and professionals with a shared interest in space. Hosted at KTH in Stockholm, it provides an open and collaborative forum to explore the latest developments in space research, technology, and exploration.
Each edition features invited speakers, student projects, and networking opportunities, all in the field of space. Designed to foster knowledge exchange and strengthen connections within the Swedish and international space community Space Rendezvous is open for everyone.
The event typically runs throughout the afternoon, including a break with Swedish fika. It concludes with a Space Pub, where everyone over 18 is welcome to continue the conversation, connect with others in the space community and grab a beer with astronaut Christer Fuglesang.
If you have questions about the event or would like to be a speaker, please contact us at rymdcenter@sci.kth.se.
