    IAC-16 — 67th International Astronautical Congress

    E3. 29th IAA SYMPOSIUM ON SPACE POLICY, REGULATIONS AND ECONOMICS

    This symposium, organized by the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), will provide a systematic overview of the current trends in space policy, regulation and economics, by covering national as well as multilateral space policies and plans. The symposium also integrates the 31st IAA/IISL Scientific-Legal roundtable.

    E3.1. Regional cooperation in space: policies, governance and legal tools

    The session will provide a forum for the discussion of existing or emerging schemes for regional cooperation in space. Three key domains are considered: political, economic aspects and the legal-institutional scheme. Organizations for the integration of regional space cooperation like APSCO, ESA and others have to be considered. Papers are expected to reflect the situation in North America, South America, Asia and Africa. The session will support the activities of the IAA ongoing Study Group on the same topic.

    E3.2. International Space Exploration Policies and Programmes

    Space Exploration is an important space policy domain and international cooperation plans and partnerships have been gaining momentum in recent years, as reflected by the International Space Exploration Forum and the IAA Heads of Space Agencies Summit on Exploration 2014. This session will provide a forum to reflect on the trends in space exploration and present and the latest developments in the field (e.g.regarding ISS and the upcoming ISEF in Japan). This session is supporting the activities of the IAA Study Group on ‘Dynamics of Space Exploration Strategies and Future Outlook’.

    E3.3. Game changers in the space economy

    This session will explore some of the major recent changes in the space economy, with a view of identifying current and potential economic and industrial impacts on the space sector’s different value chains. Issues which could be presented are inter alia: how new institutional and commercial actors are shaking the traditional space industry, which took decades to develop internationally; new economic models that are or will be revolutionising space related public procurement; recent technological breakthroughs that might impact industrial space developments or not (e.g. 3-D manufacturing). Some future-oriented papers (projection up to 15 years) could contribute facts and trends to the discussion on the future of the space economy.

    E3.4. Assuring a Safe, Secure and Sustainable Space Environment for Space Activities

    Space Activities provide a wealth of increasing benefits for people on Earth. However, space actors have come to realize that the benefits of the space infrastructure for the world community depend on technical, legal, policy and political means to keep a safe, secure and sustainable space environment. This session will explore the progress being made within multilateral fora, the private sector and individual countries in supporting the goal of a safe, secure and sustainable space environment. It will especially examine activities within UNCOPUOS and the EU proposed Code of Conduct for Space Activities.

    E3.5-E7.6. 31st IAA/IISL Scientific-Legal Roundtable: Challenges in regional space cooperation

    This roundtable is jointly organised by the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) and the International Institute of Space Law (IISL). International cooperation is a key element of the Outer Space Treaty. In the Legal Subcommittee of UNCOPUOS, at present, the subject matter is reflected in a dedicated Working Group reviewing ‘international mechanisms for cooperation in the peaceful exploration and use of outer space’. The Outer Space Treaty will have its 50th anniversary in 2017. This upcoming event is a good moment to discuss the challenges of regional cooperation in space in the interdisciplinary format of the Scientific-Legal Roundtable. Abstract submissions to this session are by invitation only.

    E3.6. Enterprise Risk Management

    Considering today’s global economic and industrial challenges, more and more organizations have implemented Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) in order to align their strategy with their risk appetite and available resources. This cross-organizational process, carried out by senior management, applies in strategy setting across the enterprise, and is designed to identify and mitigate potential threats and exploit opportunities to the achievement of the organization’s goals and objectives. This session, organized by the ERM Technical Committee, will provide a forum to reflect on the recent trends in ERM and exchange validated practices and lessons learned from organizations that employ ERM.
