Welcome Message from the COSPAR President Pascale Ehrenfreund
Dear Esteemed Delegates, Welcome to the 45th Scientific Assembly of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR), to be held from July 13 through July 21, 2024, at BEXCO, in the bustling city of Busan, Republic of Korea. It is with great delight and honor that we host this Scientific Assembly together with the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT, the Korean National Committee for COSPAR, the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute and the Korean Space Science Society, bringing together the world’s finest minds from the diverse realm of space research. For more than six decades COSPAR has been at the forefront of fostering international scientific research in space, striving to promote peace and cooperation on a global scale. The yearly Scientific Assemblies have been a testament to this commitment, serving as a dynamic platform for researchers, scientists, engineers, and educators from all corners of the world. This year’s Scientific Assembly, too, holds a wealth of promise and possibility. Our theme for the 45th edition - "Team Spirit in Space Research" - reflects our collective ambition to gather scientists and engineers from all countries to peacefully use space science for the benefit of all mankind. Over the course of this nine-day conference, we invite you to engage in thought-provoking scientific sessions, inspiring keynote speeches, interactive workshops, and enlightening panel discussions. These are designed to not only expand our understanding of the universe but also to create new avenues for future exploration and collaboration. The space sector in Korea has experienced a significant surge recently, emerging as a dynamic and innovative force in the global space arena. With a blend of ambitious government initiatives, robust private sector participation, and cutting-edge technological advancements, Korea is progressively carving out a substantial niche in space exploration and research.
