Space Commercialisation and Business Opportunities
Date: Monday 7 - Tuesday 8 April 2025
Convener: Antonella Forganni - Space Policy Research Group - EU*Asia Institute at ESSCA School of Management
Venue: ESSCA Bordeaux (5 place d'Armes, Bordeaux) & Online via TEAMS
Previous editions of the Space Policy Workshop have explored topics such as space commercialisation and space sustainability. These events have resulted in special issues of peer-reviewed journals such as Space Policy and several books published by Routledge, including the forthcoming Routledge Handbook of Space Policy (edited by Thomas Hoerber, Mariel Borowitz, Antonella Forganni, Bruno Reynaud de Sousa).
Building on these discussions, the 17th Space Policy Workshop will focus on the economic potential of the space sector and the multiple opportunities it offers to businesses as well as to civil society - including non-profit organisations and individuals - as long as space projects are carried out in a sustainable way.
We welcome proposals for papers on the following topics:
- The economic impact of the space sector at global, regional or national level
- New business opportunities emerging from the commercialisation of space
- The roles of individuals and NGOs in the space economy
- SMEs versus dominant players in the space sector
- Space enterprises and corporate social responsibility (CSR)
- Public-private partnerships in the space sector
We encourage contributions from all disciplines, as well as from practitioners, senior and junior researchers, PhD and Masters students. We believe that interdisciplinarity enriches our discussions, and mentoring younger colleagues allows us to integrate fresh ideas.
Please submit an abstract of 150-200 words using the form below.
Deadline for paper submissions: Monday, 16 December 2024
Notification of acceptance: Monday, 20 January 2025.
