If someone were to talk about outer space exploration—not to mention space law—in Serbia when I was beginning my space law research in 2011, this person would be welcomed with a great deal of disbelief and a demoralising reply, proposing to pursue his or her space career elsewhere, likely a more developed country.
The first SGAC/IAF Seminar took place in Montevideo, Uruguay, in the framework of the Global Space Applications Conference (GLAC 2018). The event was a complete success with the participation of over 80 students and young professionals from 14 countries.
Senior Shimhanda, the Regional Coordinator for the African Region, has passed the entrance examination of Japan’s Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech) to enrol in the Space Engineering International Course (SEIC).

Our country, Lebanon, did not have dreams for several years and was under the shadows of corrupt geopolitics and environmental trauma. For several years, I believed in the myth of a third world country: that Lebanon would never rise to the wonders of the United Arab Emirates, United States, or Europe. I graduated high-school in 2017 and was made to start university in January 2018 at the American University of Beirut.
