[ASA] SXSW Sydney 2025 Astronomy Student Opportunity | Tech & Innovation Showcase

[Alexander Cooke]

Dear all

I am writing to draw your attention to an opportunity to showcase astronomy tech and innovation as part of the 2025 edition of SXSW-Sydney coming up in October.

SXSW are looking for 6-8 student projects that demonstrate tech & innovation within the field of Astronomy to be showcased at their Tech & Innovation Showcase at ICC Sydney on the 13 & 14 of October. They are interested in projects that have a tangible, physical or interactive element/outcome that can be shown (even if it's partially or only a component) at the showcase.

All selected projects will receive:

  *   2x Industry Pro Passes, giving students full access to the Tech & Innovation Festival, Games, Screen, and Music Festivals, and SXSW Sydney Conference.

  *   Eligibility for the Tech & Innovation Showcase Award

  *   FREE Booth Space

  *   NO Submission Fee

  *   Open to ALL areas of research and discipline

  *   Networking opportunity to showcase projects via the showcase and Tech & Innovation Festival's sessions & events via Industry Pro Passes access

Students can submit their projects via the Expression of Interest form HERE<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/9Ru-Cvl1rKiAnpkZ0hQf3iQ-gLf?domain=form.fillout.com> (https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/9Ru-Cvl1rKiAnpkZ0hQf3iQ-gLf?domain=form.fillout.com<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/9Ru-Cvl1rKiAnpkZ0hQf3iQ-gLf?domain=form.fillout.com>). Submissions will close on the 31st of July but the organisers are flexible.

Please encourage your colleagues or students to consider taking part.
