Paths to Progress in Space
Protocol Labs and Foresight Institute are excited to invite you to apply to a 5-day mini-workshop series to celebrate LabWeek, PL’s decentralized conference to further public goods. The theme of the series, Paths to Progress, is aimed at (re)-igniting long overdue progress in longevity bio, molecular nanotechnology, neurotechnology, crypto & AI, and space through emerging decentralized, open, and technology-enabled funding mechanisms.
LabWeek also includes many additional events focused on Public Goods Funding, Sustainability, and Decentralized Science. Register and learn more at labweek.io/24-pg.
This mini-workshop is focused on Paths to Progress in Space Technology:
Space science and technology is getting faster at opening up new frontiers, in turn surfacing possible governance challenges for making our future in space accessible, peaceful, and flourishing. Let’s take stock of progress coming from Old and New Space efforts – and how decentralized R&D technology can accelerate it, while contributing creative governance solutions.
Confirmed presentations include:
David Furman, Cosmica: Leveraging space for human health
Mike Grace, LongShot: Paving the way to space by lowering launch costs
Pablo Moncada, MoonDAO: Decentralized approaches to support space progress
Anastasia Prosina, Stellar Amenities: Creating functional space architectures
Aaron Krane, Cryptostat: Advancing the intersection of space and computing
Asher Soryl, More Lucid: To seed or not to seed? The expected value of directed panspermia
Presentations will highlight science and technology opportunities as well as new tools for finding and funding progress. We’ll break into groups to deepdive on your shared interests and close with plenary report-outs to map progress opportunities to enablers. Our question is: what could this community build to close the current progress gaps?
Our workshop capacity is extremely limited. If you’d like to attend, please consider applying soon. We hope you join us to explore new R&D/DeSci technologies for advancing technological progress for the benefit of life.
To apply to the other workshops on bio, nano, neuro, crypto, AI and space in this series, you can do via the full Paths to Progress @LabWeek events calendar.
For those who want more, learnings from the LabWeek workshop series will feed directly into Foresight’s 2024 technical workshops – longevity workshop, neuro workshop, crypto AI workshop, nano workshop, space workshop – with a session on new R&D/DeSci funding technologies for advancing the respective area.
