Economic Resilience and the Space Economic/Industrial Sector

type

oral

Description

Objective: The Space Economy Committee invites researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, and scholars to submit paper abstracts that align with the economic dimensions of building economic resilience within the space sector, focusing on how the sector can adapt and thrive in the face of global economic uncertainties and disruptions. This session seeks to foster a deeper understanding of the strategies and mechanisms that ensure the continuity and growth of space activities, even under challenging conditions. Context: Resilience refers to the ability of the space economy and its associated activities, industries, and institutions to withstand, adapt to, and recover from disruptions, challenges, or shocks from unforeseen events. Submissions should address the following areas: - Definitions, measurement issues, and models/methods for analyzing the resilience of the space economy. - Data-driven approaches to understanding and enhancing the resilience of the space economy. - Case studies on how space missions or programs have adapted to or mitigated economic disruptions - Emerging markets and opportunities that enhance the resilience of the space economy. - Impact of new technologies (e.g., quantum computing, AI) on the resilience of the space economy. - Forecasting future economic trends in the space sector and their potential impacts on global economic resilience. Submission Guidelines: • Abstracts should be concise, clearly outlining the research question, methodology, key findings, and relevance to the theme "Economic Resilience of the Space Sector." • The submission should highlight the novelty and contribution of the work to the existing body of knowledge on economic resilience in the space economy. • Collaborations with organizations outside the traditional space community are encouraged to bring diverse perspectives and innovative approaches.
