IAF IDEA “3G” Diversity Luncheon
Tuesday 6 June 2017, 13:30 – 15:00
Location: Beijing Continental Grant Hotel
One of the key objectives of IAF President Dr. Jean-Yves Le Gall’s IAF Global Innovation Agenda 2016 – 2019 is the fostering of the principle of 3G (Geography – Generation – Gender) Diversity within the Federation and the space sector. To that end, an International Platform for Diversity and Equality in Astronautics (IDEA) has been created which allows the Federation to take a leading role in the effort to promote and advance diversity and equality principles amongst a global space community, become an exemplary organisation in terms of geographical, generational, gender and any other diversity aspects, and live up to its motto Connecting @ll Space People.
Following several very successful IAF IDEA “3G” Diversity events held during the past months, the IAF in close cooperation with the Chinese Society of Astronautics (CSA), an IAF member and Alliance partner, will hold an IDEA 3G Diversity Luncheon during the Global Space Exploration Conference GLEX 2017 in Beijing on
