On 3 February 2024, the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) hosted and organised a workshop, in collaboration with the Korean Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), entitled the “ESPI-KARI Workshop on Space Traffic Management Cooperation”. The workshop was a closed-door side event at the margins of the 61st session of the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee of the UN COPUOS and saw representatives from the Republic of Korea and Europe come together to discuss respective regional Space Traffic Management ecosystems.
The Workshop contributed to an ongoing collaborative research project between ESPI and KARI on joint cooperation in the field of STM. The event aimed to elucidate both Korean and European understanding of the driving elements of STM and how to foster international bilateral and multilateral cooperation between the Republic of Korea and Europe.
The participants included:
