Space: Societal, Educational and Cultural Aspects

International Astronautical Congress
3rd – 7th October 2011, Cape Town, South Africa

This is a joint session between the IAF Space Education and Outreach Committee and IAA Commission VI and is co-sponsored by the IAF Technical Committee on the Cultural Utilisation of Space (ITACCUS). In this inter-disciplinary session we wish to explore the societal, educational and cultural contexts of space, investigate the way in which these contexts engage with each other and with space activities and foster a dialogue between scientists/engineers, artists, cultural practitioners and thinkers active in these fields. For IAC2011, we particularly encourage submissions related to the topic of water and space.
