On the 8th of Octobre, ESA is organizing a Space Talks event in Paris.

This event is part of European Space Talks, a pioneering awareness campaign inviting the space community to share their space projects and related benefits with our citizens. ESA is proposing a digital Space Talk dedicated to the next generation. Students around Europe and beyond will remotely connect and debate about future Space activities that will be discussed at the upcoming Space19+, the ESA meeting at ministerial level.

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 bepresented to European Ministers at Space19+, in Seville, Spain, next 27 – 28 November 2019 will conclude the evening.

This event takes place in Paris, but we will live stream it from the Physics and Astronomy departement of KU Leuven.
