Barcelona ZeroG Challenge for Students

The registration period ends on 30 June 2021. The Barcelona ZeroG Challenge is an international competition in which teams of bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree students are asked to design and build an experiment to be conducted in microgravity.

The Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · BarcelonaTech (UPC), in collaboration with the Barcelona-Sabadell Aviation Club and the student association Space Generation Advisory Council, organises the Barcelona ZeroG Challenge. The competition is open to teams of up to four students aged between 18 and 35 from any discipline who must submit scientific experiments that need to be conducted in microgravity. The aim of the competition is to encourage scientific vocations, especially in astronautics and space research, and also to disseminate scientific experimentation.

The team with the best proposal, endorsed by a mentor, will have the chance to perform the parabolic flight experiment, in addition to receiving a 2,500-euro grant. Projects will be assessed and selected on the basis of suitability, scientific merit, safety, mentor endorsement, an international and diversity dimension and dissemination activities by independent experts from the European Space Agency (ESA).
