Throughout the two-day online programme, participants will have the opportunity to virtually attend presentations by ESA’s leading experts on the realities of supporting ESA astronauts’ health and well-being before, during and after their missions.

ESA flight surgeons and other members of the Space Medicine Team will discuss topics ranging from the challenges of the space environment and the physiological consequences it has on the human body, to countermeasures that are currently being employed or developed for future missions beyond Low Earth Orbit. As the opportunity to meet ESA's experts is usually a key element of the programme, there will be plenty of time for questions and interaction after each lecture.
