Our University is launching the Space Research and Innovation Network for Technology (SPRINT) on 26 February at Boldrewood Campus from 10:00 – 16:00 (with facilities visits from 14:00 – 16:00).
The launch will showcase our breadth of expertise and provide an invaluable networking platform for small to medium enterprise businesses (SMEs) and Southampton researchers. Importantly, we will be providing an overview of how to access funds to support SMEs in the space sector.

At the launch event you will have the opportunity to meet:
- Space Environment Physics Group
- Southampton’s Astronautics Group
- Southampton scientists in Health Sciences

SPRINT is a collaboration between the Universities of Southampton, Leicester, Surrey, Edinburgh and the Open University. The network has received a £4.8m grant which will be used to support SMEs in the space sector, providing them with unprecedented access to university expertise and facilities.
A large number of attendees are expected at the event, which is organised by Research and Innovation Services, so early registration is recommended.
