Space for the Future: Navigating Sustainability in Outer Space
As satellite technologies and space exploration expand, the need for sustainable practices has never been more urgent. Join us for an engaging discussion on the United Nations’ Guidelines for the Long-Term Sustainability of Outer Space Activities, a landmark framework shaping how we use and govern space responsibly.
This conversation brings together leading voices in the field — Prof. Kai-Uwe Schrogl, Prof. Rosanna Deplano, and Dr. P.J. Blount, moderated by Prof. Marc Ventresca — to unpack the legal, political, and technological challenges of building a sustainable future beyond Earth. This event is for anyone interested in space governance, sustainability and international cooperation.
