Finland

The NPoC Finland is divided in two subpoints; Professor Dr. Lotta Viikari at the Institute of Air and Space Law of the University of Lapland, and Ms. Heidi Pennanen at the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment of Finland.

The main objective of the Finnish NPoC is the promotion and development of space law in Finland through variety of activities such as the organization of local events and conferences, actively contributing to the ECSL activities such as the Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Court Competition and the ECSL Summer Course, teaching of space law courses and publication of space law related works. The NPoC will set up appropriate channels to inform the community about space and space law related activities in Finland and internationally.

Applications of Finnish students (citizens or students in Finnish universities) for the purposes of the ECSL Summer Course should be directed to Professor Lotta Viikari.
