Recommendations for Space19+
This digital talks is dedicated to the next generation. Students around Europe will remotely connect and debate about future space activities that will be discussed at Space19+, ESA’s next meeting at Ministerial level being held in Seville, Spain, 27-28 November.
The programme will be interactive and full of surprises. The opening will be broadcast live, followed by an open debate. ESA astronauts Thomas Pesquet and Claudie Haigneré and ESA Director General Jan Wörner will present on stage and interact with the students across Europe. Participants will also connect live with ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano on the International Space Station.
Through online voting we will also collect the students’ views and produce a set of recommendations that will be presented to Europe’s ministers at Space19+.
