Join OSMED for the Spaceflight Epidemiology Analysis Working Group, a public meeting series dedicated to advancing conversation, collaboration, and research at the intersection of space medicine, epidemiology, human health, open science, and the future of human spaceflight.

The Spaceflight Epidemiology AWG brings together researchers, clinicians, students, engineers, data scientists, citizen scientists, and space health professionals who are interested in understanding how the hazards of spaceflight affect human health, performance, adaptation, and long-term capability. Topics may include astronaut health, physiological adaptation to microgravity, spaceflight-related risk modeling, human system risks, data curation, open datasets, biomedical research, clinical translation, and the use of data science and artificial intelligence in space health research.

This working group is designed to be both collaborative and educational. Participants do not need to be established experts in space medicine or epidemiology to attend. The goal is to create a welcoming environment where people from different disciplines can learn together, contribute their perspectives, help shape active projects, and support meaningful research outputs.

Through regular meetings, project updates, member discussion, and subgroup work, the Spaceflight Epidemiology AWG aims to connect open science resources with practical questions about human health in space. The group supports interdisciplinary collaboration, community-driven research, and the development of projects that can contribute to the growing body of knowledge needed for safe, sustainable, and effective human space exploration.
