Rice University to host International Space University’s 36th annual Space Studies Program

Rice University will host hundreds of space industry and research professionals for the International Space University’s 36th annual Space Studies Program (SSP) between June 8 and August 3, 2024.

The program is of eight-week long duration and it comprises course offerings in space research- and exploration-related topics and disciplines; immersive, hands-on experiential learning modules; and development and networking opportunities for professionals with diverse backgrounds from more than 30 countries around the world and spanning all career stages.

The program is uniquely positioned to inform future directions for scientific research and facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations across a broad range of space disciplines. Through Rice University's collaboration with NASA, SSP participants will visit the Johnson Space Center, the hub of NASA's human spaceflight activities pioneering the future in space exploration, scientific discovery, and aeronautics research.

“Johnson Space Center is looking forward to partnering with Rice as it hosts the International Space University’s Space Studies Program,” said Johnson Director Vanessa Wyche. “This is an amazing opportunity, not only for the students participating in the Space Studies Program, but for employees of JSC to share their knowledge and experiences with an international network of leading space experts and professionals,” she added.

“The Space Studies Program has been a unique professional development program for 36 years attended by many of today’s world space leaders” said ISU President Nicolas Peter. “Taking into account lecturers and invited experts in addition to participants, the event will bring together more than 400 international space professionals," he added.
