The European Space Agency (Technical and Quality Management Directorate and Concurrent Design Facility), in collaboration with the University of Strathclyde, is organising the 8th International Systems & Concurrent Engineering for Space Applications Conference at the Technology & Innovation Centre (TIC), in Glasgow, on 26-28 September 2018.

The 1st and the 2nd Concurrent Engineering (CE) for Space Applications Workshops (CEW) were held at ESTEC, in 2004 and 2006, focussing on the first Concurrent Engineering design centres, tools and preliminary applications. 

La Sapienza University of Rome welcomed SECESA 2008 for the first time outside ESTEC; SECESA 2010 was hosted by the EPFL in Lausanne (Switzerland); SECESA 2012 was held in Lisbon (Portugal), at the Instituto Superior Tecnico (IST), with the innovative element of including in the programme the contents of the NASA-ESA Workshop on Product Data Exchange, via a dedicated session. The Institute of Space Systems (IRS) of the University of Stuttgart (Germany) hosted SECESA 2014, the first edition where the event was officially designated with the appellative of “Conference”, acknowledgment of a well-established forum of excellence. SECESA 2016 was hosted by UPM/ETSIAE in Madrid (Spain) confirming the Conference as a reference event for the Systems and Concurrent Engineering community, in Europe and abroad.

If you are interested in hosting the next SECESA Conference, in 2020, please fill out the online Application Form, and answer the questions to the best of your ability. The deadline to submit the application form was 12 September 2018. 

The applications will be evaluated by the Conference Technical Committee and the winning proposal will be announced at the Conference Dinner on Thursday 27 September, at the Glasgow Science Centre ( https://www.glasgowsciencecentre.org/ )
