Previous editions of the Space Policy Workshop have focused on topics such as space commercialisation and space sustainability. These events have resulted in special issues of peer-reviewed journals such as Space Policy and several books published by Routledge, including the forthcoming Routledge Handbook of Space Policy (edited by Thomas Hoerber, Mariel Borowitz, Antonella Forganni, Bruno Reynaud de Sousa).
Building on these discussions, the 17th Space Policy Workshop will feature four expert panels covering key aspects of the growing space economy. Discussions will include global and regional developments in space commercialisation, legal and economic frameworks for space policy, strategic and ethical dimensions of space exploration, and the broader economic impact of the space sector.
A highlight will be the presentation of the Routledge Handbook of Space Policy, featuring insights from the editors. Panelists from across Europe and beyond will explore how space initiatives can unlock new business opportunities while ensuring long-term sustainability and inclusiveness in space activities.
The detailed programme will be published shortly. Stay tuned for updates!
