Are you a scientist involved in gravity-related research? Interested in novel commercial markets and new space economy? Or simply curious about what space research will bring to our daily lives? Then SELGRA’s webinar series, freely available on their Youtube channel, will be of interest to you.

SELGRA is the student chapter of the European Low-Gravity Research Association (ELGRA). Open to all European students, its main goal is to be their main hub for gravity-related research, activity, and outreach. In addition to the scientific and technical expertise its management committee can offer to support student projects, SELGRA also offers several travel grants, to help students attend conferences and build up their network. Notably, SELGRA is our main partner for our first call for experiments, and supported the winning team with a travel grant to help us in the organization of the NeuronGrav experiment (see our previous blog post).

Finally, SELGRA is especially active in the field of outreach, and organizes monthly seminar dedicated to gravity-related science
