    Title

    Space Societies, Professional Associations and Museums

    Description

    Space Societies, Professional Associations and Museums form a special and important group of IAF members - nearly one quarter of the membership and, as a sector, second in size after space industries. They include professional societies, space museums, space associations, non-profit organisations and other organisations interested in space activities. Some have a large membership of 10 000 or more, others can be small. There are some which are already a century old, others are just being created. They exist in traditional and emerging space nations. Together, they constitute an impressive number of individuals who all are connected to space. This symposium offers a podium for ideas and proposals to enhance the interaction between the organisations, their members and the Federation. Papers could for example address proposals to exchange experiences and good practices, sharing articles, exhibitions or educational material, novel ideas to help outreach to the general public, etc. In particular also papers are invited on ways to integrate young societies, representatives of emerging space nations and museums in the IAF family and to develop mutual benefits.
