Young Space Activities Overview in Germany
In 2021, the first national SGAC event in Germany, the SG [Germany] took place. Originally scheduled for 2020, it had to be postponed due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although unfortunately the event had to be conducted online it was still a great success. Find more information about the event here: https://spacegeneration.org/event/sggermany2021. We envision this to become an annual event in different cities and invite you to reach out to the NPoCs for more information!
On a more regular and local basis, SGAC is represented at several significant events and institutions, with formal connections to German industry, the public sector, as well as international actors such as the United Nations in Bonn. Furthermore, SGAC members organised informal gatherings in different cities to connect with other members and like-minded peers. These gatherings are usually organised in an informal way via messenger groups. If you are interested to join such an event or to organise a gathering in your place, simply reach out to the NPoCs, who will provide you with further information.
