Report on 2nd EPEC Annual Week
The 2nd EPEC (Europlanet Early Career network) Annual Week was held at the University of Lisbon, Portugal from 20th-24th May 2019. 44 early career professionals from all over the world and across the Europlanet community gathered to discuss current and future space activities in Europe. The workshop brought together experts and young professionals to share their ideas and experiences about research, outreach and future goals, in an effort to promote international collaboration and increase the interest of younger generations in science. The talks given during the workshop covered several topics related to careers in space science, as well as science policy and future space research.
The mix of enthusiastic participants sharing innovative ideas and building of new networks for future collaborations made this a unique opportunity for early career scientists and engineers to have a voice in the future development of space activities in their countries.
Following the Annual Week, the volunteer participants will continue to work together to develop a real project linked to current space challenges and to engage in different working groups. These working groups represent the fundamental themes of EPEC and are categorized as: EPEC Annual Week, EPSC Activities, New Frontiers and Future Space Research, Early Career Support, Outreach, Diversity, Communications, and Finances.
