SGAC is proud to present the July 2020 Member of the Month!
We have entered the second part of year 2020, a year which made us rediscover ourselves and to acquire new skills. But it made us better understand what a ‘change’ really means, especially affecting everyone’s life, at global scale. Covid-19 virus is at the forefront of every news and opening speech, and what we have learned from it, as a community, is that it brought us more strength and unity.
Standing together with those affected by this unfortunate challenge is SGAC’s primary action.
In every community around the world people are showing their gratitude, using social media channels to reach with their message of support. The first online SGAC Congress, SpaceGen United, was one of these events, where collaboration, gratitude and team-work across the borders have been fully present.
Let’s recognise the great work the Organising Team of SpaceGen United Congress have done over the past 3 months, and especially during the event itself, 18th – 26th July, and congratulate them for their nomination as Members of the Month of July 2020!

Nominator
Alina Vizireanu – SGAC Membership Manager:
“Hard work and dedication have been the characteristics of the Organising Team of SpaceGen United programme, greatly visible from Day One!
Over the course of the last 3 months, the organising members have worked tremendously, enabling 9 full days with inspirational keynotes, workshops on industry’ challenges, or social events for virtual engagement.
Their space passion and true desire for the SGU congress to be perfect, to inspire and excite, start conversations and engage 140+ delegates in extraordinary, well-thought workshops, are key factors of my nomination. It is just the first day in the event and one can clearly see the beauty of teamwork and collaboration among the congress organising team members!”
Foreword by Davide Petrillo, SGAC Executive Director
“The SpaceGen United Organising Team has overcome the challenge of pivoting to an online event in light of the global Covid-19 pandemic and done a stellar job of ensuring a dynamic and engaging programme, offering our delegates the possibility to grow, learn, and have fun. SGAC is proud to report that 143 delegates from 53 different nationalities participated in the SpaceGen United. This year, SGU had 7 Workshops and the delegates were mentored by more than 50 experts from the Industries, Agencies and Academia.
The SpaceGen United Organising Team did a truly outstanding job in the development and implementation of this first SGAC’s online Congress. With professionalism, organisation, enthusiasm and kindness each team member worked long days (and nights!) to ensure this event was the best yet. The organising team’s hard work enabled all attendees to make the most of the event – from engagement with the experts, to the outcomes of the workshops and the special social events.
The success of this event helped to promote the voice of the next generation of space sector leaders from around the world. Congratulations to each and every member of the organizing team!”
