31st UN/IAF Workshop on Space Technology for Socio-Economic Benefits

Day: 11 - 13 October 2024
Location: MiCo Convention Centre

The United Nations, through its Programme on Space Applications implemented by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), and the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) are co-organizing the Workshop on Space Technology for Socio-Economic Benefits on the theme "Space Sustainability as a Game-Changer for Development."

The workshop takes place at the venue of the 75th International Astronautical Congress (IAC) and the theme of the Workshop is aligned with the theme of the Congress: "Responsible Space for Sustainability."

The purpose of the Workshop is to bring together people from either government, space agencies, research institutes, academia, or non-governmental organizations who prepare and carry out space activities and are specifically interested in making space activities sustainable, so that their benefits on Earth will continue to be provided to future generations. Those who are interested in building partnerships, notably to raise awareness of initiatives about sustainability of the space environment or capacity building activities about reducing the impact of the space industry on the Earth environment are also particularly welcome to participate.

The Workshop will be hosted by the Italian Space Agency (ASI), and held in Milan, Italy, from 11 to 13 October 2024.
