From 25-26 March 2024, the European Interparliamentary Space Conference (EISC) convened its annual Workshop at the Chamber of Deputies in the heart of Luxembourg under the presidency of the Luxembourgish Parliament.
As the secretariat of EISC, the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) played an active role in co-organising and convening this forum that brought together parliamentarians, academics, experts in international law, and industry stakeholders to engage in discussions under this year’s theme: Legislating Space – A Commercial Affair?
Participants gathered at the Luxembourgish Chamber of Deputies for the first day of the Workshop and heard from several expert speakers across international, regional, and national contexts. ESPI concluded the first day with ESPI Engagement Officer responsible for EISC, Sonja Agata Bišćan, delivering a speech reaffirming ESPI’s commitment to EISC and individual parliaments. Following the Workshop programme, participants were invited to tour the exhibit “Asteroid Mission” at the National Museum of Natural History in Luxembourg.
Day two of the Workshop convened participants at the headquarters of Société Européenne des Satellites (SES) for a presentation and guided tour of their facilities.
This year’s EISC will conclude with the Plenary Session taking place in September 2024. Stay tuned to the ESPI and EISC websites for more details in the coming months.
