Project Kick-off

Dear members of the RIT project,

We have the great pleasure to invite you to the Kick-off of the project RIT* that will take place in Kiruna on October 1-2. The objective of the kick-off is to gather all members of the project to familiarize ourselves with each other and the project’s purpose and goals. Together we will initiate a common way forward and focus especially on the up-coming “Meeting Points” that will be arranged every 6 months. These meetings will help us achieve the project’s goal for the Space industry in the region to increase its capacity in research and innovation collaboration between academia, industry and the innovation support system.

This invitation is sent to the contact persons for the project partners (see attached file) and if you would like to bring further colleagues along, please do. It is also sent to others who might be interested in participating in some of the activities that are planned within the projects lifetime (students at LTU, members of Space Kiruna, SMEs in Norrbotten etc).
