The Space Generation Advisory Council is looking for an active young space leader from the Europe region to become the next Regional Coordinator (RC) for this Region. This two-year role is a volunteer position that offers a chance to lead and be responsible for the voice of the next generation of young space leaders in the Europe region, especially as activities and excitement in the region have expanded over the past years in the space sector, and at SGAC.
You are cordially invited to a special open-hour conversation on partnerships at the regional level with the SGAC African regional coordinators and partnership manager. The SGAC African team would like to take this opportunity to strengthen the partnership with your institution and present you with significant regional projects where your assistance might propel our robust space ecosystem to a new horizon. Partners are crucial for the continent and on a global scale. In order to build the Africa we want, we would like to create a worldwide coalition with your help to raise awareness through outreach programs, meet capacity-building goals, and deepen the integration of space sciences, applications, and technology in every country. Let's leave behind something we can be proud of for future generations.

Pharmaceuticals (used to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease) suffer from lack of stability on Earth and even more so in space. Over the next few decades, there are plans for human space missions to the Moon and, even further, to Mars. What could be done to limit the degradation of pharmaceuticals (due to time/radiation/altered gravity) during deep space travel to keep the astronaut crew healthy and safe? What about manufacturing drugs in space? How can this knowledge help us to fight diseases here on Earth? And, of course.. What is it like to be a space pharmacist? We have invited Dr. Marlise Araujo dos Santos (a Brazilian space pharmacology expert) and Dr. Siobhan Malany (an American space researcher and drug discovery scientist) to inform us on the challenges and opportunities within the space environment.
This is a short summary of wonderful post we have just written!
