ESF-ESA-ESPI Conference

Vienna, Konzerthaus, 11-12 October 2007

Humans in Outer Space – Interdisciplinary Odysseys

This conference, co-organized by the European Science Foundation (ESF), the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI), will be the first comprehensive trans-disciplinary dialogue on humans in outer space. It goes further than regarding humans as mere tools for exploration or better robots. It investigates the human quest for odysseys beyond the atmosphere and reflects on the possibilities to find extraterrestrial life. It shall open up new perpectives in assessing humankind's present and future outside the Earth and document this in a "Vienna Vision on Humans in Outer Space".

The registration fee for all attendants (except keynote speakers) is 130 euros, to be paid at the conference site. The fee includes participation to the conference, coffee breaks, lunches on both days and dinner on Thursday evening, 11 October. Accomodation information will be forwarded by the local organisers to registered attendants.
