COPOUS STSC 2023 Side Event – ESPI Evening Event ‘Dark & Quiet Skies: The Way Ahead’

In 2022, the UN COPUOS approved a new single issue/item for discussion on the agenda of the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee (STSC), a “general exchange of views on dark and quiet skies for science and society”, recognising an increasing impact of space activities of the night sky and on astronomy.  

Following on this decision, UN COPUOS STSC is scheduled to address “Dark and quiet skies” at its the upcoming sixtieth session (6-17 February 2023) .  

Aiming to foster a complementary exchange of views on the challenge of protecting dark and quiet skies, ESPI is organizing this in-person Evening Event, with the support of: 

• International Astronomical Union
• European Southern Observatory
• SKA Observatory

A detailed event agenda will be provided prior to the event. 

Please note this is an in-person event. Participation is open to all delegates to the 60th session of UN COPUOS STSC without registration.

Refreshments at the event are kindly offered by the “Consorzio Prosecco Superiore Conegliano-Valdobbiadene”
