In the frame of the World Space Week (4-10 October) the European Space Agency (ESA) organises the "European Space Talks" to bring forward the European contributions to the space sector and inform European citizens about the unique benefits space activities can provide.
The goal of this Europe-wide initiative is to promote space among the general public in the run-up to the ministerial level meeting of the Europeean Space Agency “Space19+” and the future of European Space Programmes.
The 2019 edition is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing. Space Talks 2019 celebrates this historical event, how it has inspired and continue to inspire us, changing all of our lives.
Last year, European Space Talks participants organised around 280 events and reached almost 30000 people with their enthusiasm. Due to its great success, ESA is reopening the campaign.
Europe’s Next Generation
This event is part of European Space Talks.
Students around Europe and beyond will remotely connect and debate about future space activities that will be discussed at the upcoming Space19+.
Europe’s Next Space Generation is organised by ESA in collaboration with HEC Business School and ESTACA Engineering School, in Paris, France.
The programme is interactive and full of surprises. The opening starts at 18:00 and will be broadcasted live, followed by an open debate. Participants will also connect live with ESA Astronaut Luca Parmitano, during the Beyond mission on the International Space Station. An on-line voting to collect the students’ views and produce a set of recommendations that will be presented to European Ministers at Space19+, in Seville, Spain, next 27 - 28 November 2019 will conclude the evening.
The students' association EUROAVIA Forli-Bologna will join the initiative organising a live streaming on October 8th starting from 17:30 at Polivalente room, Via Valverde 15, Forlì.
