One of the largest collections of space-related expertise in the world.
The space research collaboration explores opportunities to help shape the future of space technology. We form one of the largest collections of space-related expertise in the world and support research, development and training within industry and academia.
The Midlands Innovation partners have collective strengths in the academic disciplines that apply to ‘space’ in its broadest sense. The group come together to explore opportunities for collaborative research, discuss training and skills needs for the space sector and how best to utilise the diverse range of space-related equipment housed across the partnership. Topics range from:
Advanced materials
Aerospace engineering
Astrophysics
Earth observation/environment
Laser physics
Management
Manufacturing
Metrology
Planetary exploration
Space instrumentation
Space system design
We form one of the largest collections of space expertise in the world, numbering more than 900 academic, research and technical staff. The Leicester Space Park is working closely with the Midlands Innovation space group to bring together the Midlands-wide academic community which has the potential for some exciting research collaborations.
