WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND THE 9
th
EU SPACE CONFERENCE
Since it will be held in early 2017, this
9th EU Space Conference
will obviously become
the awaited opportunity
for
all the space stakeholders
- representatives of national and EU institutions, industry, research centres, EU
associations, civil society and media -
to debate at the highest level about the key priorities
for the development of
space and space-based activities in Europe, as they will be identified in the
"Space Strategy for Europe",
to be adopted
by the European Commission shortly beforehand.
The debate would lead to know
• If all the space stakeholders consider that the key priorities proposed

the continuation of the current EU programmes
such as
EGNOS/Galileo, Copernicus and SST, and the possible fulfilment of new projects, such as GovSatCom, as well as to
support research and innovation projects.
Therefore, the 9th Conference
will take place at the very moment of the review of the current multiannual financial
framework for period 2014-2020,
including the RD&I Programme
Horizon 2020,
and of the upcoming preparation of
the
next multiannual financial framework for period 2020-2027.
These topics are crucial for the future of the European space industry and for a resilient development of a
“space market uptake” aiming at creating new space-based services, new enterprises and new jobs. To feed
such a dynamic, interactive and fruitful debate among the numerous participants (see below a preliminary list),
many guest speakers from national and European institutions, space agencies, research centres, large
