OUTPOST workshop series
It has been over twenty years since Earth last had all its humans on it. Despite this, space is still mostly inaccessible to the more than 7.5 billion humans who still live on Earth.
The upcoming Outpost workshops will take its participants to the future, where space is open to everyone and today’s space junk is turned into new space stations: the pillars of sustainable space exploration. Outposts will be factories, asteroid mining stations, fuel depots, observatories, or even gardens, libraries and art galleries.
The Outpost workshop series will provide a platform for critical discussions about humanity as a future interplanetary society. The event is made possible by Leids Universiteits Fonds and will take place at PLNT – Leiden Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
