DESCRIPTION:Bridging the Gaps in International Space Education in Africa\n
 \nThe volume and scope of space activities conducted by African nations an
 d entities is rapidly increasing. Despite the growth\, Africa still lags b
 ehind global counter parts in the exploration and utilisation of outer spa
 ce. This is partly due to the lack of a skilled workforce to adequately se
 rve the needs of the growing African space industry. Space law\, policy an
 d industry experts are among the skilled workforce who are critical in adv
 ancing the nascent space projects of the continent.\n\nLegal and industry 
 experts support the nations and entities of Africa to navigate the intrica
 te and constantly evolving landscape surrounding space activities by addre
 ssing the legal\, regulatory\, and operational challenges associated with 
 governing and financing space activities on the continent. A lack of such 
 experts therefore hampers the continent's ability to develop and apply com
 prehensive legal and commercial frameworks needed to effectively guide nat
 ional and private-sector space activities.\n\nTo close these gaps\, Africa
  urgently needs to develop pathways for training a community of specialist
 s who understand both the legal-regulatory and commercial landscape of the
  global space arena together with the intricate political\, and socio-econ
 omic perspectives of Africa and her citizens. What are the key challenges 
 and opportunities in training space law\, policy and industry experts for 
 Africa in today's rapidly evolving space industry? On what pillars should 
 the relevant stakeholders and partners in Africa’s emerging space industry
  build education and training programs that can produce the much-needed wo
 rkforce that can adequately address Africa’s current and future needs? Wha
 t lessons can Africa take from the strategies and experiences of other nat
 ions and regions in developing the robust workforce who serve their space 
 industry?\n\nJoin us on 9 February 2024 from 2:00pm–4:00pm GMT (9:00am–11:
 00 am EST) in a conversation with Prof. Ram Jakhu (9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Institute of Air
  and Space Law) and Dr. Adigun Ade Abiodun (Cofounder\, African Space Lead
 ership Institute).\n
