'From Outback to Orbit: Australia's Space Race'

03.11.2020, 0900 CEST I 1900 AEST

Join Australian and German space experts for an online discussion about our histories and expertise in space research, exploration and technology; our efforts to build a skilled and diverse space workforce, including our approaches to supporting women and girls in science; and existing and future avenues for Australia-Germany cooperation.


Both Australia and Germany have long histories of space exploration and research. Australia was the third country in the world to build and launch a satellite from its own territory, and radio telescopes in Parkes and Canberra were instrumental in supporting the Apollo 11 moon landing. Our cooperation with Germany stretches back to the 1970s, when the German space agency launched rockets from South Australia. Australia now has one of the fastest growing space sectors in the world, with plans to triple the size of the industry by 2030, creating 20,000 jobs and turning it into a $12 billion sector. To achieve this, we need to rapidly scale up international partnerships, increase our national capability and inspire a future workforce.

 Australia at Falling Walls x Berlin Science Week

 09.11. 2020, 13.00 - 15.00 CET

 The Falling Wall Conference, which was first held on the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin     Wall in 2009, aims to breakdown walls and barrieres in the ways we think and act. Every year   on 9 November, some of the most prominent researchers and scientists are invited to Berlin   to present their breakthroughs in science and provide solutions for gloabal challenges. Each   participant presents their research for 15 minutes in a way that is easy to understand for both   experts and anyone interested in science.  In 2019, Australian researcher Rhys Pirie won the     2019 Young Innovator of the Year Award and 2020 looks like another promising year for   Australians with more than ten Australian researchers making it into the final.
