SG[Nepal]
Following the launch of Nepal’s first satellite in April 2019, NepaliSat-1, Nepal has officially entered the space age. Developing nations have started to realize the good space can bring to the country and therefore, several nations like the Philippines, Thailand, Nepal are now entering the arena of space. In this very special year for the space industry in Nepal, the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC) is organizing its first SG[Nepal] local event in Nepal in conjunction with the National Space Meet (NSM) of Nepal organized by the Nepalese Space Research Association (NESRA). This inaugural one-day event will be held in Kathmandu on July 19th. The event is intended for university students and young professionals (aged 18-35 years) and guest speakers from the space industry, space agencies, space non-governmental organizations and research laboratories. The purpose of the event is to gather together people who are passionate about space coming from different backgrounds to enhance interdisciplinary professional network and exchange of ideas regarding the future of the space field. The event will be held in English.
SG[Nepal] Goals
Selected participants will contribute to boosting the impact of space in our society and to incentivising the Nepalese footprint in space-related activities. Major focus will be placed on understanding how space can benefit developing countries and the importance to bridge the generation gap.
