The Next Martian Academy is more than just a learning space. It's a launchpad for the thinkers, builders, and pioneers of tomorrow. Our vision is to establish a cutting-edge academic and R&D ecosystem focused on quantum technologies, biosphere engineering, robotics, and space systems design.
We aim to partner with leading institutions such as the International Space University for dual-degree Earth/Mars engineering programs, and develop immersive training through a fully functional Mars Habitat Laboratory on Earth.
From advanced simulation labs to global research fellowships, students will tackle real challenges in quantum computing, astrobiology, AI-guided exploration, and regenerative ecosystems. We are working on a plan to launch the Quantum Engineering Fellowship Program in partnership with TU Munich (MQT) and QuSoft. To stimulate breakthrough innovation, we'll host international Hackathons and Innovation Challenges centered on deep tech: quantum neural networks, closed-loop ecosystems, swarm robotics, and autonomous navigation systems.
Are you a visionary, a scientist, a dreamer, a lifelong student, or someone who simply believes in the possibility of a better tomorrow? Connect with Next Martian and be part of the community.
Our programs are open-source and globally collaborative. We encourage participants from all disciplines — engineering, biology, quantum physics, philosophy, architecture, and beyond.
