Convention Center, Houston, USA. *** Application Deadline: 12th May *** http://www.unsgac.org/sgs The Space Generation Summit is three-day meeting that will gather 200 young international delegates to refine and articulate a youth vision on the future of space activities. It will be held in conjunction with the World Space Congress - the largest gathering of space scientists within the last decade - and will build on the work of the Space Generation Forum (SGF) of the Third UN Conference on the Exploration and Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNISPACE III). Delegates will be selected several months prior to the meeting, and will work together on-line in the months preceding the summit to create the Summit program, and to draft Summit documents. The intentions of the SGS are to take full advantage of the unique opportunities that World Space Congress offers, and to communicate an overall vision for accelerating our pace in space. All people are invited to take part in the online discussions: Discussion Forums: http://www.unsgac.org/sgs/forums/ _________________________________ NOTES Funding: Delegates from developing nations may be eligible for full (travel and lodging) or partial funding, though these places are limited.
