- Abstract
The Netherlands Society for Aerospace (NVR) has recently renewed its vision and is actively pursuing the interest in space activities in the Netherlands. An overview will be given of recent initiatives towards the NVR members, industry, policy makers and the education sector. One element of this new policy is to enhance the link between the NVR and IAF. Following this philosophy IAF has agreed to set up a new Administrative Committee on Space and Society that aims at enhancing the dialogue between IAF, its member professional societies, and society at large. The objectives and roadmap of the Space and Society Committee will be presented and discussed.
