logo_sgacAbout SGAC

SGAC works on the international, national and local level to link together university students and young professionals to think creatively about international space policy issues and inject the youth point of view into international space policy creation.

For a quick overview on what SGAC does, please see our current SGAC brochure available here.

SGAC’s Goal is…

  • …to provide access to our members to inject their thoughts, views and opinions on the direction of international space policy

Other goals are…

  • …to undertake projects on key topics of relevance to international space policy and our members
  • …to present the student and young professional viewpoint around the world
  • …to provide a dynamic forum in which students and young professionals can expand their knowledge of international space policy issues, build networks and think creatively about the future direction of humanity’s use of space

At the end of every year, SGAC releases a strategic plan for the upcoming year which encapsulates our key initiatives. This strategy not only defines our annual direction, it also acts as a benchmark for assessing our progress annually.
