VIII: Workshop on Aerospace and Satellite Technology (Promoter: Joseph Shiferaw and Lebsework Negash )
Department of Aerospace Engineering.  Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, KAIST  South Korea



In Ethiopia education and research are growing at the rate consistent with its national mission to become a middle-income country. The emphasis in STEM education and advanced research and training at doctoral level are fueling the country’s economy at a higher rate than many sub-Saharan African countries. There are advanced research activities in biotechnology, nano-technology, space and astrophysical sciences in many flagship universities in the country. Due to the efforts of the Ministry of Science and Technology and South Korean institutions these advances are bearing results in student training at PhD level, and fully functional advanced research laboratories. Aerospace research is just beginning to take shape in Ethiopia with the start of Aerospace Technology research center and the establishment of small-scale satellite research, and major space observatories. Ethiopia embarked in these endeavors for the purpose of exploiting the technologies and to achieve its development goals in research, education and quality of life. In particular emphasis of this workshop will be in the area of Aerospace Science and Technology and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. The workshop will feature presentations and discussions on the values of Aerospace Science and Technology and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for civilian as well as military uses. It is designed for aerospace students, staff, researchers and administrators. There will be panel discussion among participants to discuss the opportunities and challenges in the field. The workshop will also promote interdisciplinary understanding of aerospace systems, their underlying science and technology, and their applications to government and commercial endeavors. This workshop brings together students, experts, scientists and researchers in a collaborative environment to present and discuss issues related to Aerospace Science, Engineering and, technology. It provides a platform for the next generation to be able to share their respective knowledge and experiences and to develop new ideas and to improve the level of air defense, security and intelligence gathering of our Nation. In particular, discussions will focus on the way forward for ESSTI to create a tangible link with concerned academic institutes and affiliated local sectors to orient their research directions to meet the very needs of the country. Invited experts and researchers of the field will pinpoint the current as well as the future directions of Aerospace Science, Engineering and, Technology specifically the advantages of satellite and and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for developing countries.
