Citizens' Debate on Space for Europe

Over 2000 citizens selected to reflect the socio-demographic diversity of their country will debate on space matters during a day-long meeting.

The Citizens' Debate on Space for Europe is the first instance of a consultation organized in every member state of the European Space Agency.

In order to consolidate the 22 national results reports into one European report, all debates will follow the same instructions and answer the same set of questions.

This consultation scale is organised by Missions Publiques, a company specialised in citizen participation, with 20 partners, on behalf of ESA. ESA intends to take in new actors to develop its future orientation and nurture its strategy, especially citizens, in choices that will respond to societal challenges, put space at their service and impact coming generations through space innovation, exploration and international space cooperation.

The greek consultation is being organised by si-Cluster. Established in 2009 as a joint initiative between Corallia and the Hellenic Association of Space Industries, it's an innovation cluster focusing on Space Technologies and Applications in Greece.

The consultation is scheduled fro Saturday, September 10th, at Corallia Clusters' headquarters (α2 innohub, Leof. Kifisias 44), where 100 selected participants will gather.
