ESA/ECSL Executive Course on Space Law and Regulations 2019 - Report
As the space sector becomes increasingly commercialised, both national governments and private companies have a need for knowledge about the legal dimensions related to space activities. ESA recognises these changes and wishes to offer an opportunity for a structured introduction to space law and regulations to government representatives and industry professionals.
While the ECSL Summer Course is a great resource for students, the Executive Course will deliver a high-quality and tailor-made course for government representative and industry professionals, with a strong focus on the practical aspects of the legal dimensions relevant for regulating and conducting space activities.
The 2. edition of the ESA-ECSL Executive Course on Space Law and Regulation was organised at ESA ESTEC (Netherlands) from 2-4 October 2019, and had 14 participants both from within and outside Europe. Participants included government officials, industry representatives and IGOs.
The course had a strong focus on the practical aspects of the legal dimensions relevant for regulating and conducting space activities. Throughout the course we had several interesting discussions and questions, where also the participant had a wealth of experience and input.
