Space Law and Policy Course 2015 (CPD)

Monday, March 23rd, 2015

The 2015 Space Law and Policy Course will be offered 11-13 May 2015 in London.

The Course will include lectures from ISPL’s Director and Faculty and other experts, and will include interactive case studies on topical aspects of law and policy.

The 2014 Course received very positive reviews.  A wide range of delegates participated in the lectures, discussions and case studies, resulting in a stimulating series of meetings over three days.  Comments following the course uniformly praised the content, presentation and range of material covered.   “Very rewarding and enriching!”   “I was most interested to listen to people around me with extensive expertise as well as the speakers.”   “I very much enjoyed the course and the friendly atmosphere.  Every speaker was helpful and an expert in their domain.”   “The quality of the course and information was outstanding.”

Participants may request access to the IALS Law Library during the week of the course. Those considering a post-graduate degree will also be able to informally discuss their interest with the Director.

Subject Matter 

The Course will provide an introduction to the following subjects.

  • The space environment and space technology
  • Orbits, their characteristics and management, and types of spacecraft
  • Spectrum management
  • The law governing space activities: principles & sources of space law, including conventions and treaties, national law and policies

Space Law and Policy Course for University Students: Re-scheduling

Monday, March 23rd, 2015

The 2015 space law and policy course for university students will be rescheduled, and will now be offered in the Autumn term 2015.

Our courses are normally intended for high-level practitioners and civil servants. This is an excellent opportunity for those beginning their careers to learn about the law as it applies to the increasing range of activities in space, and the policies that are the foundation for the legal regime.  It is not an academically accredited course, but is a popular introduction to the field.

This is a half-day intensive lecture class for students with an interest in these areas. The course will be held on Saturday to enable them to avoid missing their regular lectures and seminars. No previous knowledge of space law or policy is required. Students in any discipline are welcome, including law, engineering and technology, government, business and commercial studies. They will receive a briefing in the sources of space law, an introduction to aspects of policy, and a wide range of other related material.

There is no examination. There will be ample time for discussion and questions.

We will post a prospectus and email notifications to those on our contact list when we have the new date.
