Rapid Response Information (RRI) Reports are prepared on behalf of the National Science and Technology Council (the Council) to deliver timely responses on specific questions raised by the Australian Government.
Introduced as part of the Council’s refreshed Terms of Reference, the reports provide a more responsive mechanism for Ministers to access science and technology advice in a consistent and policy relevant manner.
What are the growth areas in domestic STEM skills to support jobs in the space industry, and how can these be addressed by the tertiary (university and relevant VET) sector?

The ASBX team is proud to present an exciting opportunity for young people and students interested in space exploration. This year we are providing three engaging competitions for students and young people from 3 years upwards so all students and young researchers have a chance to participate and get involved. These competitions are interdisciplinary, (comma) and promote education in the fields of space and S.T.E.A.M.: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics.
Students can get involved in one or all of our competitions: Space Story, Space Art, or present their own research project at our conference this year!
For more information, and to see each of our competitions and abstract submission information, please visit our website at asbx.com.au
The deadlines will range from 15 October – 1 November 2021, depending on category.
Space Story: Creative Writing Competition
You can pick a category from space governance, space biology + health and space technology, and the question you want to answer. Come up with the most creative, logical, or funniest answer you can think of in 500 words! Please visit: https://www.asbx.com.au/spacestory
Space Art: Art Competition
You can submit any piece of art or design that is space-themed. In particular, we have a special challenge to create a “patch” with a focus on landing back on the Moon, so if you have any great patch ideas for a Moon Mission we want to see it!
Calling all Young Space Investigators! Do you have a space- related research, art based, or engineering based project you want to share at an international conference with space agencies, astronauts, scientists, engineers, and more?
If you are curious about the cutting-edge discipline of surgery in space, then the new Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA) Space Surgery Association is just the group for you! Visit the website to read more…
This coming Saturday August 14th at 12:00 CEST, join Dr Mindy Howard of Inner Space Training and Blue Abyss, Dr Dorit Donoviel, Executive Director of TRISH, our Founder, Dr Rowena Christiansen, and the Founder of the Space Show, Thi Hien Nguyen, for a fascinating panel discussion about the new era of commercial spaceflight.
This coming Saturday 7 August, join our founder Dr Rowena Christiansen, Dr Alicia Tucker and final year medical student Vienna Tran to hear them talking about their careers and journeys into the area of space medicine. Come along to hear three (hopefully fascinating) stories about what inspired them and the paths that they have taken to reach their current waypoints. Many thanks to the AIAA Adelaide Chapter for the kind invitation! 😊
The Summit will be held from 16-19 November 2021. It will be free and a hybrid format, with a mixture of pre-recorded presentations and live panels. It is also hoped to begin the conference with an in-person day in Sydney.
“The ASBX 2021 is the world’s largest space biology x health summit that will focus on key areas of human biology and health. The Summit brings together the world’s finest minds in space biology and health development to speak on these cutting-edge topics. This year we have partnered with the Australian Space Health Symposium to present ASBX 2021. We are here to help researchers, business professionals, and government agencies to understand, identify and stay informed to deliver truly effective solutions for space.”
The Summit will not only include space biology and health, but also space governance. technologies and the space economy. It promises a fantastic mixture of speakers and presentations.
