Humans on Mars Initiative

Bremen Human Space Exploration Seminar

Humans living on Mars has been a long-time dream which may now appear within reach. The technological, ethical and environmental challenges are however enormous and require transdisciplinary, ground-breaking science. The Bremen Human Space Exploration Seminar is an exchange platform for scientists committed to envisage and shape a sustainable Mars Exploration program for the benefit of humankind and Earth.

Date and time

The seminar will take place every second Thursday at 2 pm CET/CEST at the Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM) from 2025 during the lecture period.
