On Tuesday 12th November, from 17:00 to 19:00, in Room A, Building F, the Department of Physics will host a conference entitled ‘A crowding problem: space debris.’

The event, born from a collaboration between GAUT - Gruppo Astrofili Universitario di Trieste (Trieste University Astrophile Group) and ASTREO, the newborn student team dealing with aerospace-related development and research, will allow the theme of space debris to be explored and deepened through four talks of half an hour each.
