Applications are open from April 1st until May 15th, 2019, 23:59 GMT.   
Successful applicants will be contacted by June 1st, 2019.

Applications will be evaluated based on your motivation to attend SGC, your breadth / depth of experience, your ability to contribute to the overall event, as well as your insights and passion for space.

Apply also to the 2019 Space Generation Leadership Award        
The Space Generation Leadership Award facilitates the attendance of international delegates who bring unique and insightful first-hand perspectives to the Space Generation Congress. It selects top international applicants to attend the 18th Space Generation Congress (17 – 19 October 2019) and the 70th International Astronautical Congress (IAC) (21 – 25 October, 2019) held in Washington D.C., United States!
Be aware and save your time! Previous recipients of the Space Generation Leadership Award or the Global Grant Programme are not eligible to the SGLA.

The delegate selection process for SGC is highly competitive. Information you provide will be used to evaluate your application to be a delegate at the 18th Space Generation Congress.

You are welcome to write a paragraph or a series of bullet points for each question. Remember we can only assess you on the information provided, so feel free to add details where appropriate (e.g. “interned at JSC for 3 months in mission operations” vs “completed internship” when discussing experiences, or “I would like to show how the energy industry and aerospace can collaborate” vs “I have new perspectives” when discussing unique insights).

To be able to apply for the SGC 2019 you must be a member of SGAC. If you are not a member, please register at https://spacegeneration.org/register. The SGAC registration and membership is free.
