Belgium has been holding the annual rotating Presidency of the European Interparliamentary
Space Conference (EISC) since January 2018, and it is our great pleasure to invite you to the
20
th
EISC Conference that will take place on 15 and 16 October 2018 in Brussels, Belgium.
The Belgian chairmanship focuses on
“Big data: Development of value-added
downstream

applications”. As a continuation to the EISC Workshop that took place in Redu
and Leuven on 14 and 15 May 2018, the Conference will involve various stakeholders to
discuss interesting opportunities regarding the use of big data and entrepreneurship.
Attached you will find the preliminary programme of the Conference as well as the practical
information (these documents will also be available on the EISC website at

The Belgian Senate and its Space Platform would like to invite a delegation (of maximum 3
persons) of your Parliament to participate in this Conference.
We are convinced that the 20

Yours Sincerely,
