About the Scientist Track

The Scientist Track supports research in various space science and technology fields using state-of-the-art AI technologies.
First, we are receiving creative and challenging research proposals that match the objectives of this program in order to identify important research topics. After the submission deadline, the SpaceAI Scientific Organizing Committee will review all proposals in three major aspects (scientific relevance of the topic, feasibility of constructing appropriate datasets for AI model development, and the importance and impact of the expected outcomes), and then select the research projects to be carried out in this track this year.
For each selected project, we will recruit experts who wish to join as team members, organize teams, provide tailored consulting, offer platforms for big data and AI model development, and support efficient collaboration through workshops, intensive collaboration camps, and conferences.

Track Participation Application

We are accepting applications from experts who wish to join the selected research projects as team members and play a leading role in collaborative research and development. By forming teams with the proposal submitters and participating in workshops, online team meetings, and intensive collaboration camps, participants will be supported to publish papers in international journals, present at domestic and international conferences, file patents for resulting technologies, and develop APIs for various services. We welcome experts from diverse fields, including space science, space technology development, big data science, machine learning, image processing, statistical analysis, and hardware (GPU). For inquiries regarding participation, please contact us by email (spaceai_loc@kasi.re.kr).
