The Hague Space Diplomacy Symposium

The Center for International Affairs and World Cultures (CIAWC) is convening an international symposium on space diplomacy in the Hague with the University of Leiden. Hosted by Mai’a Cross, Director of the Center for International Affairs and World Cultures; Dean’s Professor of Political Science, International Affairs, and Diplomacy, who will also provide the keynote, and Jan Melissen, the symposium features interdisciplinary experts from the US, Asia, and Europe on the future challenges and opportunities of outer space exploration and cooperation.

Discussions will be aimed at policy and practitioner audiences from both the public and private sectors, and will address major issues in international policy, governance, law, business, communications, security, materials, and sustainability. This is the second in a series of workshops showcasing the research findings of CIAWC’s Global Spotlight Project on Space Diplomacy, which recently resulted in the publication of a special issue in the Hague Journal of Diplomacy.
