About the Course

As humanity accelerates its exploration and utilization of outer space, the legal and regulatory frameworks governing these activities face unprecedented challenges. The intersection of international obligations, national interests, commercial innovation, and emerging technologies necessitates a nuanced understanding of space law that is both globally grounded and nationally responsive.

This three-day certificate course on Advanced Space Law is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive overview of current and emerging legal issues in outer space activities. It brings together experts, practitioners, policymakers, and scholars to engage with the evolving legal landscape and critically examine how international space law is being interpreted, applied, and, at times, challenged by national policies and commercial practices.
