Space technology is already part of our daily lives: GPS, weather forecasts, global communications? But did you know that space is also opening up new horizons for the life sciences?
In this extreme and fascinating environment - radiation, microgravity, vacuum - researchers are testing the limits of adaptation for living things: plants, animal cells, human beings? everything has to be reinvented.
Space is becoming a veritable laboratory for biological innovations, with major spin-offs for Earth:
o circular production systems,
o more resilient agricultural crops,
o new therapeutic treatments,
o enhanced food safety,
o and even life supports for space exploration!
In Montpellier, research is abounding: plant adaptation, totally recycled food production, cancer cell behavior in orbit? so many projects with the same objective: better food, better protection, better care.
How can we survive (and live!) in space? How can we integrate terrestrial balances into our future space exploration projects?
Come and meet scientists and experts in space biology from Montpellier and discover this fascinating research!
*The conference is closed after 7.30pm. Approximate duration.
Free conference. Subject to availability. Advance booking required.
