Overview:
The 2024 American Association for Gravitational and Space Research Pre-Conference Workshop is the last of the 2024 biomanufacturing and advanced materials in space workshop trilogy (the first was at ISSCR and the second at ISSRDC) to raise awareness about the value of space-based R&D and the critical need for workforce development to prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers. This workshop aims to unite key stakeholders from innovation hubs, research institutions, industry, and government agencies to create a collaborative network to leverage the space environment to advance biomanufacturing and advanced materials technologies. This workshop provides a platform to expand existing and establish new strategic partnerships that will shape the future of biomanufacturing and advanced materials in space, with a special focus on the unique challenges and opportunities of conducting R&D in low Earth orbit.

We encourage prospective and current NASA-funded researchers and students to attend.
