SUMMARY:Commons in Space 2022
DESCRIPTION:The increasing use of space\, from billionaire tourism to exploration of the Moon and Mars\, as well as the increasing near-misses with space debris\, has made many of us aware of space as a shared resource. How can the use of outer space be governed\, providing opportunities for private actors but also protecting the rights for current and future generations that have not yet the means to participate in space exploration? How do we ensure the long-term sustainability of space exploration activities\, as well as the safe use of Earth’s orbit? \nAs a virtual conference organized by the International Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC)\, we will facilitate a discussion between space scholars and scholars studying more traditional commons. What can we learn from governing shared resources on Earth to derive fair and productive outcomes when governing shared resources in space? And what can commons scholars\, working on local and regional scales\, learn from space commons that face governance on a scale beyond planet Earth? How can commons scholarship provide models for diverse stakeholder groups to have agency and voice as humanity takes important steps towards a sustained human presence on the Moon\, Mars\, and beyond? \nSSR Project Manager Florian Micco will participate in the Roundtable on “Policy coherence for tackling space debris” on 2 November\, 17:00-18:00 CET.

SUMMARY:VIRUP: The Virtual Reality Universe Project\, by Yves Revaz & Florian Cabot
DESCRIPTION:Science communication is key for sharing research discoveries to a wide audience. In this talk\, we will present VIRUP\, The Virtual Reality Universe Project\, a brand new software developed at the Laboratory of Astrophysic of EPFL\, that provides the most modern dynamical view of our Universe through one of the cutting-edge communication techniques : Virtual Reality (VR). \nVIRUP allows users to travel through space and time\, ranging from the artificial satellites orbiting the Earth to the outer confines of the Universe. Journeys in this VR environment help to understand the hierarchical organization of our universe at different scales as well as developing intuitions for astrophysical processes. In addition to standard VR systems like gamer headsets\, VIRUP is compatible with specific immersion systems like 360-panorama\, half-caves or 180-domes. VIRUP has also recently been used to create a twenty minute-long documentary named: Archaeology of Light. \n				\n	Yves Revaz is a senior scientist at LASTRO/EPFL. After successful studies in physics at EPFL\, he completed his PhD entitled: “Dynamics of external regions of spiral galaxies and constraints on the dark matter”\, at the Geneva Observatory in the galactic dynamics group of Prof. D. Pfenniger. He then moved to the Paris Observatory to work at the LERMA (Laboratory for Studies of Radiation and Matter in Astrophysics) with Prof. F. Combes on the understanding of cooling flows in galaxy clusters. He joined LASTRO at EPFL in 2007\, where he developed a new TreePM/SPH chemo-dynamical code called GEAR as well as the pNbody python library\, a parallelized toolbox designed to manipulate large N-body systems. \n	Relying on those tools\, he studied the chemical evolution of galaxies. His current main research focuses on the evolution of dwarf spheroidal galaxies and their link with  cosmology. \nBeside his research Yves Revaz also led the development of VIRUP\, an interactive virtual reality (VR) environment that lets anyone discover the cosmos through observed and simulated data. Between 2020 and 2021\, he directed the realization of two films (in 2D\, 3D\, 180-3D and 360-3D) fully based on VIRUP. A short movie presenting the most complete 3D map of the Universe as observed by the eBOSS survey and a 21 minutes-long documentary entitled Archaeology of Light\, where we chart out a journey throughout the various scales of the Universe. \n	Florian Cabot is a software engineer at SCITAS/EPFL. He studied computer science at the University of Geneva. His passion for astrophysics made him complete his Msc with a project on Virtual Reality exoplanetary data visualization at the Geneva Observatory in 2018. He met Yves Revaz at the Observatory with whom he started the VIRUP project. He developed this project from scratch\, writing all the tools needed to do VR rendering and interaction with large amounts of data. He ported the project to different projection systems at the Experimental Museology lab\, and directed and scripted the two movies made with VIRUP. \n				\n	He moved this year to the SCITAS computing center to do scientific visualization both for the Square Kilometer Array project in collaboration with LASTRO and the EUROFusion consortium in collaboration with the Swiss Plasma Center.

SUMMARY:SNSF first MARVIS call
DESCRIPTION:Submission deadline: 01.02.2023\n	\n	The SNSF launches the Multidisciplinary Applied Research Ventures in Space (MARVIS) call. With this scheme\, we promote consortia projects that explore space. \nOn 1 February 2022\, the Federal Council adopted the Ordinance on the Promotion of National Activities in the Space Sector (NASO). Based on NASO\, the SNSF launches the first MARVIS call\, through a mandate by the State Secretariat for Education\, Research and Innovation (SERI). It has an annual budget of up to CHF 3.5 Mio CHF. The SERI plans to mandate calls every 2-4 years. \nA MARVIS project is eligible for funding if the following criteria are met: \n\nIt is a research or innovation project in the space sector that is of national importance.\nIts multidisciplinary character is mirrored by a consortium that consists of at least two higher education research centres and at least one national or international industrial partner.\nOne or several of the higher education research centres are responsible for the project.\nIt has a network of organisations and institutions that goes beyond the members of the consortium.\n\nResearchers can submit their projects from 1st November 2022 to 1st February 2023. The funding decisions will be communicated by the Federal Department of Economic Affairs\, Education and Research (EAER) in November 2023. The earliest project start date is 1st December 2023.\nThe MARVIS funding instrument aims at developing specific core competencies in the space sector at the higher education research centres as well as their national and international networks; maintaining and strengthening Switzerland’s position in strategically important and future-oriented research and innovation fields in the space sector; implementing Swiss space policy; gearing research and innovation work in the space sector to the needs and long-term strategies of partners in industry.\nThe evaluation procedure will be performed in two steps: \n\nIn Step 1 of the evaluation\, the scientific-technical quality of the project is evaluated by the SNSF. This evaluation is based on the project outline\, which consists of the research plan complemented with the CVs as well as the supplementary documents. Based on the Step 1 evaluation\, the SNSF submits a recommendation to SERI\, as well as an assessment of the alignment of the projects with ESA activities.\nIn Step 2 of the evaluation\, the SERI will evaluate the project according to the space\, research and innovation policy. For this\, the project plan is made accessible to SERI. This project plan consists of the project outline complemented with detailed information on the requested funding.\n\nA national and international Steering committee appointed by the Presiding Board of the National Research Council of the SNSF is responsible for step 1 of the evaluation on scientific and technical criteria.\nProposals must be submitted using mySNF. The general rules of the SNSF apply to the MARVIS call.\n	\n								\n	\n	\n		\n		\n			\n			\n				Call document (PDF)Funding Regulations (PDF)Implementation Regulations for the Funding Regulations (PDF)

SUMMARY:Cosmos Archaeology Symposium: Encounters between art and science
DESCRIPTION:From the dawn of human civilization\, we have looked at the sky to explore its secrets. Some stargazers would go on to pursue scientific knowledge of the Universe\, as astrophysicists\, astronomers\, astronauts\, or engineers. Others would interpret or document it as artists or historians. All these endeavours are devoted to exploring or representing the cosmos. And for every person involved\, the Universe is an infinite source of research and wonder. \nThis symposium is an opportunity for space explorers from all walks of life to meet and share their diverse knowledge. They will also be able to discover how their practices\, so different on the surface\, might complement each other. \nOrganized for the ‘Cosmos Archaeology’ exhibition\, presented at EPFL Pavilions from 16 September 2022 to 5 February 2023\, the event brings together eminent personalities from the worlds of art and science around four themes that echo the exhibition. \n			\n							More info & Registration
