UKSEDS has invited the national chapters around the world to attend the 3rd SEDS International Conference (SEDSIC 08) to be held on the 28th of September.

The 3rd SEDS International Conference (SEDSIC 08) is being hosted this year by British branch of SEDS, UKSEDS. Thanks to the support of the British Interplanetary Society (www.bis-spaceflight.com), the conference will take place at the Scottish Exhibition + Conference Centre and will include such speakers as Ian Pearson (UK Minister for Science) and Pier Sellers (NASA astronaut). It will take place the day before the 59th International Astronautical Congress which is being held at the same venue. The main aim of the conference is to strengthen the global SEDS network and to allow for the exchange of ideas between branches. It also aims to encourage more communication and cooperation in general between international SEDS branches. The conference will be centred around presentations by SEDS branches on their history and activities. Presentations about other international student projects will also be included. There will be opportunities to network at a lunch buffet and an evening social. Most importantly SEDSIC 08 aims to be an inspiring and fun time for like-minded students!
