Title

SYMPOSIUM ON VISIONS AND STRATEGIES FOR THE FAR FUTURE

Description

This 10th Symposium is organised by the international Academy of Astronautics (IAA). In space activities the focus is usually kept on short term developments, at the expense of far future goals. The Symposium will discuss goals with at least 20 to 30 years of prospective development and identify technologies and methodologies that need to be developed. These developments will also be examined with the intention to support short/medium-term projects and to identify the priorities required for their development. The symposium will address innovative public/ private initiatives mainly in the technology field, with the goal to decrease the development and operation costs. How space activities can contribute to the resolution of world societal challenges will also be addressed.
