2012 International Summer School on Aerospace Technology (ISSAT) – Near-space Vehicle Technology
International graduate summer school is an important part of “Graduate Education Innovation Project” of Ministry of Education of PRC. The 2012 International Summer School on Aerospace Technology (ISSAT) – Near-space Vehicle Technology, authorized by the Ministry of Education of PRC, will be held on Jun.25th to Jul.8th, 2012, at National University of Defense Technology (NUDT), Changsha, China.
Aerospace vehicle technology is a key enabling technology that promotes human progress and economic development. Near-space is a newly realized region connecting outer space and near ground atmosphere with unique altitude advantage and environment characteristics, having enormous exploitation potential and broad application prospect, which stimulate strong research interests all over the world. Near-space Vehicle Technology, representing one of the most promising and energetic fields, contributes to the development of aerospace-related disciplines, the expansion of human activities in space and the cultivation of top talents with high level of capability and innovation.
NUDT has done extensive researches in Near-space Vehicle Technology and accumulated abundant experience in both scientific research and education. NUDT is among the earliest and main supporting institutions to carry out researches in near space vehicle technology. Currently, the college has 2 national key disciplines, aerospace propulsion theory and engineering and flight vehicle design; 3 first-class disciplines at the provincial level, mechanics, aerospace science and technology, materials science and engineering; 2 national innovation groups, 3 members of Chinese Academy of Science, 1 Yangtze Fund Scholar, 3 members of education instruction committee of Ministry of Education, 6 experts of National High-Tech R&D Program.
In order to share the education resources, facilitate academic exchanges and cultivate young talents, the Ministry of Education of PRC commissioned NUDT to host this Summer School. ISSAT2012 will specially invite excellent professors in Aerospace technology to present lectures and seminars, organize colorful academic discussions and activities as well. Participants will have valuable opportunities to communicate with internationally renowned scholars and benefit in broadening the vision and inspiring innovative thinking. Join us in an enjoyable summer vacation!
