Working Groups
At the heart of the 9th South American Space Generation Workshop (SA-SGW) are the Working Groups (WGs) — dynamic sessions where delegates from across South America come together to brainstorm, discuss, and design solutions for the most pressing challenges in the space sector.
Through moderated discussions, expert guidance, and peer collaboration, delegates will explore innovative ideas, exchange perspectives, and generate recommendations that will be shared with the broader international space community.
The WGs are not only an opportunity to connect and learn, but also to create tangible outcomes that can shape the future of space activities in South America and beyond.
What to Expect in the Working Groups?
- Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Participants from diverse academic, professional, and cultural backgrounds.
- Expert Mentoring: Guidance from space professionals, researchers, and industry leaders.
- Hands-On Problem Solving: Focus on real-world challenges related to sustainability and the future of space exploration.
- Oriented Outcomes: Final presentations and recommendations delivered to stakeholders, published in a final report.
