Melbourne International Space Festival

Discover the latest in microgravity and space life sciences research from experts from across Australia and the world.

3rd Annual LIMS-DLR
Microgravity Workshop

3 – 5 Dec 2024
La Trobe University – Melbourne Campus

Presented by world-renowned gravitational biologist Dr Jens Hauslage (DLR), the workshop offers the unique opportunity to conduct practical experiments so you can gain essential hands-on experience in microgravity simulation, and provides an overview of the impact of gravity on life and the current knowledge on gravity perception in cells, plants and animals.

3rd Annual
“Life in Space” Symposium

6 Dec 2024
La Trobe University – Melbourne Campus

Australian research institutions are aligning their efforts to further the study of the impact of low gravity on humans, plants and microbes, to ensure humans can live healthily and produce edible crops off Earth. Discover the potential for microgravity research, training, and production in Victoria and across Australia in universities, industry, and government at the 3rd Annual “Life in Space” Symposium.

Austronaut – Human Performance in Space Workshop

7 – 8 Dec 2024
Swinburne University of Technology

This two-day workshop will cover topics related to astronaut candidate preparation, inspired by the interdisciplinary requirements placed on astronauts during selection and on missions. You will learn about how astronauts prepare and perform for spaceflight, as well as about the elements that support on-going success, through the lens of becoming an astronaut.
