Human endeavours in the field of space research and its wider application is a dynamically developing field. This is evident not only in the research and development of technologies but especially in the ever-increasing use of satellite data and space technologies in all areas of everyday life. We believe that issues related to space research, including the development and processing of satellite data, rightfully belong in the study and research programs of our universities. On 27 April 2023, the three largest universities in Brno will be organising a student conference on this subject in Building C at the Faculty of Agriculture, Mendel University in Brno.
