Updated: registration closes Friday 19th April. Full programme now available (see link below) 

The UK Space Agency is pleased to announce a meeting co-hosted with BBSRC at QinetiQ, Farnborough:

Research on Ageing Using Bedrest Facilities:

New Opportunities in the ELIPS Programme

24 April 2013, QinetiQ, Farnborough

Main Body: 

The UK’s recent decision to subscribe to the European Space Agency’s ELIPS (European Life and Physical Sciences) programme means UK-based researchers may participate in this unique, cross-disciplinary programme, making use of a diverse range of facilities including centrifuges, parabolic flights and bedrest facilities. This meeting will examine the bedrest facilities: how they are managed, how ESA defines opportunities and selects experiments, and how UK researchers might get involved.  Specifically, we will look at how bedrest facilities may be used for research into the biology of ageing.

This meeting is open to all.  It is strongly recommended that researchers who may wish to apply for support from BBSRC for research on ageing conducted via the ELIPS programme attend this workshop.  This will be an invaluable opportunity to hear about ESA and BBSRC’s review procedures (and how they will be coordinated) and an excellent forum for networking with like-minded researchers.
