This year, the Space Generation Congress (SGC) brought together a group of more than 40 people from around the world including the first ever delegates from Tanzania and China as well as two delegates from South America and Africa each. The group was joined by distinguished professionals from around the world including Bill Nye, Vice-president of the Planetary Society, Dr. Bernard Foing of ESA, James Zimmerman, president of the International Astronautical Federation, and Dr. Pascale Ehrenfreund of Leiden University.
The delegates participated in several projects, not just on-site, but also for the 6 months prior to the congress to help promote space education, space exploration, and space for the betterment of humanity. The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) officer Yolanda Berenguer shared with the delegates how the UN can help them promote space in their home countries. Dennis Stone, President of World Space Week explained to the delegates how they can host events to promote space.
The final proceedings will be available online shortly. For more information you can visit www.explorerswanted.com or email sgcinfo@spacegeneration.org.
