The Hungarian Astronautical Society (HAS) and the Hungarian Space Office (HSO) are organizing ’Youth Forum’, a conference on space research for the tenth time this year. University students and PhD students are going to give presentations on their latest programs and successes at the event. One of the topics, of course, is going to be the Masat-1 project and its continuation, as well as the successful participation of Hungarians in the European Space Agency’s stratospheric balloon and rocket related projects. Topics like astronomy and an experiment currently in progress on the International Space Station are also going to be covered. The Forum begins with the accounts of the two organizers, HAS and HSO. The event is free of charge.

Time and venue: 13 April 2012, 9 a.m. at the head office of the Ministry of National Development (44-50 Fő utca, Budapest, 1011), on the ground floor.
