Research Tuesdays
Research Tuesdays
A public lecture series from The University of Adelaide
From tackling Meningococcal B to finding energy solutions for the future, our discoveries make a difference to people's lives across the world.
At Research Tuesdays we share this knowledge, every month. If you're curious about the changing world, we invite you to join us.
Humanity is racing into space, but are our systems keeping pace? By 2030, we’re set to establish outposts on the Moon, and Mars is on the horizon. Many legal, logistical, and ethical questions remain.
How do we protect the lunar environment? Who sets the rules for disputes on the Moon? How can we design structures for living on Mars—if humans are meant to be there at all?
Join us in October to learn how researchers are forging our extraterrestrial future.
