Call for new member

Published 6 March 2024

The UK Space Agency are seeking nominations for a new member for the Space Technology Advisory Committee (STAC).

The STAC membership acts on behalf of the sector and consists of representatives from both industry and academic communities across a breadth of subject areas from different perspectives of prime contractors, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), suppliers and academia alongside UK Space Agency representatives.

The committee provides advice and supports the Agency on matters relating to space technology covering both hardware and software development programmes and themes addressed in the space technology roadmaps, principally:

  • UK involvement in space technology developments
  • potential spin-out and spin-in activities
  • strategy
  • UK, ESA, harmonisation and other technology priorities
  • the wider social and industrial context and potential for developing the UK skills base

Members will play an important role, bringing their knowledge and experience to the Agency helping to shape space technology in the future.

Please apply by email describing your relevant experience and background in the sector, and what you believe you can bring to the committee, accompanied by a recent CV.

Meetings are held 3 times per annum over the course of the year, either in person or via remote participation where room equipment allows.

Nominations from interested parties need to be sent to the STAC Secretariat with the subject line: STAC Membership

Closing date for nominations is 26 April 2024 via email to technologyteam@ukspaceagency.gov.uk.
