Challenges and perspectives around the EU Space Act legislative project

Bird & Bird and Paris-Saclay University (IDEST) are pleased to invite you to the symposium "Challenges and perspectives around the EU Space Act legislative project".

This symposium aims to explore the legal, technical and strategic contours around the future EU Space Act announced by the European Commission. We offer you a cross-reading of the draft text through the analysis of legal, institutional and industrial experts, to understand its implications on regulation, sovereignty, innovation and Europe's competitiveness in the space sector. This morning of exchanges will be followed by a cocktail reception to continue discussions in an informal and friendly setting.

This event will be in French.
