The SRS secretariat

The Swedish Space Researchers Collaborative Group, or SRS, is an association of active Swedish space scientists and technicians covering all areas of space science. However, SRS is an association without its own funding. This limits its ability to promote Swedish space science. For example, SRS does not have the financial resources to maintain its own website and newsletters for its members.

It is clear that in order to function optimally, SRS needs its own long-term functioning Secretariat with its own web. This will allow us to efficiently promote SRS activities and communicate with the entire Swedish space community. The goal of this proposal is to establish a long-term functioning Secretariat for SRS.

The main project cost is the salary for the Secretariat staff: During the Secretariat’s first 12 months, we estimate that 80 h are required for setting up the secretariat, and that 80 h are required for running work. The Secretariat will initially be hosted by Umeå University.
