Overview

1. Purpose

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the establishment, the UNISEC-Global renews its founding spirits of “helping create a world where space science and technology are available by every country for the benefit of humankind” and explores a new possibility for another 10 years. The 9th UNISEC-Global Meeting stands on a starting line for such new time span, with the following purposes:

• To follow-up the major results of the previous meeting (held at Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkiye in 2022),
• To discuss and find a new way/direction for the UNISEC-Global to go in the next decade,
• To explore possibilities of facilitating closer collaborations between academia and industry by attending the exhibition which the UNISEC-Global incorporates in the Nihonbashi Space Week, one of the biggest space industry events in Japan during the 9th Meeting,
• To attend the Final Presentation Session of the 8th Mission Idea Contest which competes among 10 finalists' ideas of multiple satellite missions with the simultaneous interpretation service (Japanese/English),
• By attending a workshop on the use of earth observation data during the Meeting, to get some knowledge which shows that the date use business would be more convenient and time-saving than the satellite manufacturing business (This would be a good suggestion for emerging countries.), and
• To get information about the J-CUBE program of which purpose is to launch your CubeSat at much low cost from ISS in cooperation with a Japanese university.
