Η European European Space Expo, one of the most important international exhibitions, comes for the first time in Greece, from 28 March to 5 April 2015 in a specially designed white dome in Constitution Square. Si-Cluster, the Greek collaborative formation of space technologies and applications, coordinated by Corallia, supports and actively participates as a sponsor in the exhibition, which will be a reference point for the industry in our country.
As a sponsor European Space Expo, οι επιχειρήσεις και οι ερευνητικοί και ακαδημαϊκοί φορείς του si-Cluster θα αναδείξουν έργα και εφαρμογές διαστημικής τεχνολογίας που ήδη υλοποιούνται και λειτουργούν στην Ελλάδα και δημιουργούν σημαντικά οφέλη σε τοπικό και εθνικό επίπεδο. Οι εφαρμογές αυτές αφορούν ένα μεγάλο εύρος θεματικών περιοχών, όπως είναι η περιβαλλοντική παρακολούθηση χερσαίων και θαλάσσιων εκτάσεων, η γεωργία ακριβείας, η αντιμετώπιση φυσικών καταστροφών, ο εντοπισμός κινδύνου πυρκαγιάς, η χωροθέτηση ειδικών εγκαταστάσεων (π.χ. ΧΥΤΑ, ΚΕΛ), κλπ. Ταυτόχρονα, θα τονίσουν τις ευκαιρίες που δημιουργούνται για την Ελλάδα στις παγκόσμιες markets, which can boost the employment of Greek scientists in a highly specialized and exciting sector, but also stimulate the overall economic development of the country.
In the framework of the European Space Expo, the si-Cluster will organize a series of free events. Entrance to the exhibition is free to the public, for hours operation to be configured as follows: Monday - Thursday: 09:00 - 20:00, Friday - Saturday: 10:00 - 21:00, Sunday: 10:00 - 20:00.
Athens is the 24 station of the European Space Expo tour. Visitors will have the opportunity, through an interactive experience, to get acquainted with the wide range of space technologies and applications as well as attending relevant presentations by experts and to learn about the benefits that Greece can make of free and open data and from European space programs. Alongside s-Cluster's actions, the exhibition will present, inter alia, the European satellite navigation programs, Galileo and EGNOS, as well as the Earth Observation Program, Copernicus. These programs are expected to create opportunities on the global market, to help create jobs, but also to Europe's economic growth.
