What is
Mars Water Challenge?
Each year, we concentrate our efforts on one of the seven key elements: Water, Earth, Air, Fire, Consciousness, Technology and Balance. This initial phase runs from 2024 to 2030. In 2024, the central element of our focus will be water.
For this reason, in Mars Challenge 2024, we will focus on developing innovative solutions to manage and conserve water on Mars and address shortages on Earth. This also includes the management of other biological liquids and innovation in extraction and treatment technologies.
Our objectives
– Encourage University Entrepreneurship with National and International Challenges.
– Generate disruptive and collaborative solutions for the colonization of Mars, with a positive impact on our planet Earth.
– Creating an active and robust network of young leaders committed to space exploration and innovation in STEAM, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing through the Replication Effect program.”
