Opportunities in Space for Moray and Scotland – A Lecture by Professor George Fraser.

Reach for the Stars

Professor Fraser is the Director of Leicester University’s Space Research Centre. Born and brought up in Burghead and educated at Elgin Academy, whose motto coincidentally of SIC ITUR ad ASTRA, meaning ‘Thus you shall go to the stars’ is a fitting ethos for the subject of how we look at the emerging business sectors in our economy and the huge opportunities they could provide for Moray.

At the event Moray Chamber of Commerce will launch Science, Space & Stars – a new networking platform to provide an opportunity for scientists, engineers and businesses from Moray and the North East to get together to discuss common issues and share learning.
 
The lecture will take place at Moray College in Elgin and will be FREE if taken with lunch or charged at £6 per delegate to cover costs. Registration, networking, tea and coffee will be served at 10.30am in the Beechtree Restaurant and the lecture will commence at 11am in the Lecture Theatre. 



A fine dining networking lunch will follow at the Beechtree Restaurant at 1pm.

Members £25.00 / Friends £35.00 including VAT. Hospitality Supervision and Leadership students will be looking after us as part of their course. 
Please book now to avoid disappointment. E-mail info@moraychamber.co.uk or contact Miss Lovat Hamilton on 01340 881 226 indicating if you wish to attend this event and/or lunch and please advise of any dietary requirements. 
Members are requested to note that the AGM will follow later that day.

“The Moray Space Wheel idea was developed by Maarten de Vries, a local project consultant and member of British Science Association. The picture is an artist’s impression of this potential centre of excellence for Moray where business, education, community and visitors can get involved in the exploration of space. It would contain an permanent exhibition, business and educational facilities, a space flight simulator, a planetarium, a shop and restaurant.”
