FAQs

Yes. We are currently working on the infrastructure needed to ensure that anyone who is unable to come to Barcelona due to government or company-related restrictions can follow live the conference as well as present their abstracts. A partial refund will be made if they have already bought the ticket or, alternatively, a reduction in the price of the ticket will be applied. We will require official documents proving the restrictions.

Yes. We are optimistically hoping that by April 2022 the virus outbreak will have been overcome. In case this is not true, attendees will be offered the option of receiving a full refund. If needed, the Symposium will be held online. In that case a partial refund will be offered to attendees who still want to attend the conference.

This pandemic has hit on every aspect of our daily lives and there are for sure changes that have come to stay. Even if the pandemic has been overcome, we will make sure hygene and healthy requirements are met and we will provide attendees, if necessary, with hand sanitizer, masks and any other support they might seek. Social distancing will be guaranteed.

We understand the personal stress and health concerns that travelling in a crowded public transport might bring. We will provide a list of nearby accommodations to minimise the amount of transport needed. Barcelona also has an optimised bus network which is often less crowded than its underground and we encourage you to make the most of it.

For the SSEA 2021, we encourage university students, professionals working in education, and other young professionals to submit papers that present and discuss their experiences organising, running and/or participating in Educational Activities related to Space.

The Symposium convenes:

-Paper panels, that consist of 4-6 papers organized around a common theme with comments provided by a chair.

-Roundtables, that assemble 4-6 students, educators and professionals to discuss a common theme, idea, or topic with moderation provided by a chair.

Absolutely not! SSEA 2021 welcomes attendance by all students, educators and professionals, regardless of their participation in conference sessions.

You may submit proposals online via our EasyChair system between August 13, 2020, and December 1, 2020.

Absolutely, you can submit as many abstracts as you wish.

Yes. You can only send original abstracts. Also, abstracts cannot be sent simultaneously to other conferences or journals.

YES! SSEA 2021 offers an “early-bird” discount at all registration levels to those who register for the conference before February 1, 2021.

No, unfortunately single-day registration is not permitted for the SSEA 2021. However, to help everybody to attend the Symposium, ticket prices are affordable and an “early-bird” discount is offered.

Yes. We have set up a scholarship fund to help students pay the cost of registration and travel to the Symposium, with the aim of addressing equity and diversity goals. A limited amount of scholarships are thus available directly from us. Other institutions such as the European Space Agency also offer scholarships for the SSEA.
