This special session, co-hosted by the International Astronautical Federation Space Education and Outreach Committee (SEOC) and the IAF Committee for Liaison with Developing Nations (ACCESS), will explore the role of education and outreach in building emerging space ecosystems. Education and outreach are two key pillars to developing local talent, raising awareness of the opportunities of space, and enabling sustainable participation in the global space sector. As more countries invest in space, inclusive and impactful initiatives are essential to support capacity building and international collaboration. Contributions are invited from academia, agencies, industry, and NGOs to share best practices, case studies, and innovative approaches that strengthen space communities in developing nations.
