Results of the Forum on Space Economics' Third Steering Group Meeting, 25-26 Sept. 2008

06-Nov-2008

The third meeting of the Space Forum's Steering Group  was held in Paris on 25-26 Sept. 2008. After taking stock of the major outputs resulting from the Forum three years' existence (2006-2008), the members stated their continuing strategic interest. The Forum should therefore continue its activities in 2009 for a one-year transition period. It could then potentially evolve into an upgraded institutional format, subject to political support in supporting Member States and agencies.
