The conference will be held in English at Istituto Svizzero in Rome and online. Free entrance.
Istituto Svizzero invites experts from different fields and institutions to a one-day symposium where they share and discuss their professional outlooks on near-Earth space’s potential development until 2050. The goal of the symposium is not only to get scholars from different fields into conversation with each other but also to get more disciplines involved and to translate expert knowledge into public awareness.
Managing the Future of near-Earth Space
There are many different actors concerned with the future of near-Earth space. This panel presents different approaches to how the pollution beyond the atmosphere might be brought under control. It discusses the possibilities of active debris removal, how international dialogue on near-Earth space can be fostered across geopolitical tensions, and how satellite operators might be moved towards greater sustainability.
