16th ISU Annual International Symposium - Tues 21st - Thurs 23rd February 2012, Strasbourg
"SUSTAINABILITY OF SPACE ACTIVITIES:
INTERNATIONAL ISSUES AND POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS"
Each year, the International Space University (ISU) organizes a three day symposium addressing a topical theme from an interdisciplinary and international perspective. These symposia attract an audience of around 200 members of the space sector from agencies, industry and academia worldwide.
Our next annual symposium, the sixteenth in a series, will address the risks faced by spacecraft and crew due to various natural and human generated threats. Looking beyond the current situation we ask what can be done to mitigate the threats in order to assure long-term sustainability of space activities particularly through increased co-operation between nations.
The scope of the Symposium will be in line with the main objective of the UN COPUOS Working Group on the subject established in early 2010, that is, “to examine and propose measures to ensure the safe and sustainable use of outer space for peaceful purposes, for the benefit of all countries”.
