Programme at a Glance

Pascale EhrenfreundPresident, COSPAR

"COSPAR’s mission is unique, bridging together both spacefaring and non-spacefaring nations offering them the opportunity to play a role in its realization. There is no other organization on the international scene having such a mission.

Our global role of fostering international space cooperation and peace – is aiming to establish a common level playing field."

George A DanosPresident, Cyprus Space Exploration Organisation

"The return to the Moon and the creation of a permanent base on the Lunar surface are major goals for humanity; goals that can be achieved through international collaboration and a uniting effort.

Cyprus through its crossroads location and its long history in being a catalyser of friendship between nations, is the ideal location to gather together to take the next steps in the exploration of the moon and beyond."
