The International Astronautical Congress (IAC) is the world's largest and most influential annual space conference, gathering leaders from space agencies, industry, academia, and research to discuss the latest advancements, trends, and partnership opportunities in the global space sector.

The Australian Rover Challenge (ARCh) is an annual robotics competition held by the University of Adelaide, where university students from across Australia and around the globe, battle it out in a full-scale Lunar mission, using semi-autonomous rovers that they have designed and built themselves.

Competitors showcase their skills in a custom built simulated lunar environment, and complete a range of tasks including navigation, resource, and construction. Unlike many other rover competitions across the world which focus on Martian exploration, the ARCh is focused specifically on completing tasks on a simulated Lunar surface.

The defence and space industries are at the forefront of technological innovation and the career possibilities are limitless. From naval shipbuilding and cybersecurity to spacecraft design, mission operations, and data analytics, these sectors are driving some of the most exciting advancements of our time. Whether you have a passion for STEM or skills in fields like project management, IT or marketing, defence and space companies need a wide range of talent. The pathways available are also broad with vocational education and training, apprenticeships and traineeships all options for these diverse industries.
