approach as per the education, training and research
activities, and have in general a cooperation oriented
approach.
 Space is a global activity requiring an high level of technical
and scientific knowledge, in both upstream and downstrem
areas.
 University and Academy constitute a world wide network of
privileged
knowledge
supporting

windows to look through the Space
• Ministers and Heads of delegations will take the

Climate Change
International Astronautical Federation
• Society and ecosystems are impacted by Climate Change in a
broad variety of ways.
• Agriculture, human health, marine ecosystem, forest, water
are , among other topics, all affected by climate changes.
• Observation from space allows in a unique way to study the
climate-related impacts occurring across regions, country and
continental borders.
• Following the agreement achieved at COP 21 in Paris at the end
of 2015, there will be a growing need to implement an
independent Measurement, Reporting and Verification system
(MRV)

Big Data Management
• The
organization,
administration
and
governance of large volumes of both structured
and unstructured data is one of the main
challenges of the Space Era.
• Effective big data management is essential in
locating valuable information in large sets of
data from a variety of sources, ensuring a high
level of data quality and rapid accessibility
within fast-growing pools of data, typically
involving up to petabytes of information saved
in a variety of file formats.

Earth Protection
• Our Planet is part of a complex system that
includes also interplanetary dust, solar radiation,
cosmic rays and asteroids.
• UV radiation, cosmic rays, X and gamma rays are
daily variable phenomena that may have dramatic
changes in intensity during solar flares
overcoming the earth magnetic field protection.
• Asteroid collisions, despite their low probability,
may cause global effects.
• The Earth is immersed in this environment that
may affect the society and has to be study and
monitored from space
