About the Organizers

The VSV ‘Leonardo da Vinci’, established in 1945, is the study society for students at the TU Delft Faculty of Aerospace Engineering. Run by students for students, the VSV organizes a wide range of activities designed to enrich university life in all aspects—academic, professional, and social. These activities include lectures, excursions, networking events, and parties, providing members with opportunities to learn, connect, and unwind.

One of the society’s most prominent annual events is the Symposium, alternately hosted by two dedicated sub-departments: the Luchtvaartdispuut (LVD, or Aviation Department) and the Ruimtevaartdispuut (RVD, or Space Department). In addition to organizing the Symposium, these departments commit to a year-long program of lectures and excursions tailored for students with a specific interest in either aviation or space exploration.

This year’s Symposium, titled “Echoes of Space: From Orbit to Everyday Life”,  is proudly organized by the 40th Space Department:
