According to NasaWatch September 22-23, 2008 in Tamil Nadu, India, the Vellore Insitute of Technology chapter of students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS) will be hosting the annual international student space leaders conference. The conference will feature workshops, lectures, and hands on demonstrations that are specially targeted towards ambitious students. There will be a multitude of different engineers, scientists, and famous personalities in attendance, so make sure to register early.
In addition to what I am sure will be a lengthy discussion on Mars, students will take part in a lunar design competition. The aim of the competition is to develop a small lunar rover that could be carried abroad the proposed human mission to the moon. The winner of the contest receives a half-tuition scholarship to the International Space University.
This is a great opportunity for international students to come together and collaborate on a number of different space related topics. For more information visit the SEDS website.
