We will discuss funding from UK Space Agency, European Space Agency, Ministry of Defence, UKRI, other institutional funding, international funding and Venture Capital funding, with a series of guest speakers providing insights and helpful tips about their funding areas. Keep a look out for announcements of guest speakers throughout January.
