IAF INTERNATIONAL MEETING FOR MINISTERS AND MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENTS (MMOP) – THE PRESS CONFERENCE

Since 2009, the International Meetings for Members of Parliaments is the platform that IAF offers to Members of Parliaments from all over the world to foster their dialogue on a global scale with the traditional space community (governmental representatives, agencies, industry, engineers and scientists). Due to the growing interest in the benefits that space technologies can provide to societies of the whole world, starting from 2021 the Meeting has been opened to government representatives in charge of the space policies of their countries.

We would now like to offer press and media representatives the opportunity of engaging in a fruitful discussion with the participants to the meeting thanks to the participation in the MMoP Networking luncheon and the following MMoP Press Conference,
