The Space Studies Symposium was conceived as a way to bring the Space Studies community together and tap the exceptional network of alumni and current students to discuss research, develop collaborations and make connections throughout the multidisciplinary fields of space science. It is our goal not only to focus within, but to attract scientists and engineers from without, and in so doing establish UND Space Studies as an epicenter of space science and research.
