R&D for Space-Based HCI in Europe

As an initiative of researchers from the HCI community, the purpose of the meeting is to discuss R&D avenues at European institutions for technology and its applications in HWO-related science. We want to focus in particular on space-based, visible-light and near-IR direct imaging at high contrast. We recognize that this goal requires expertise from all different angles, including science, and space-base technology even if not explicitly HCI. We acknowledge that there will be a significant overlap with ground-based applications and hence also people who hold that expertise. We want to provide space for synergetic discussions. However, the aim is to keep a general space-based focus.
