The UAE is the first Arab nation to host the world’s premier space event, which will be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from October 25 to 29.
Organised by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) in collaboration with the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), the event provides a platform to exchange information and ideas, discuss developments and advances, and share insights on strategies and rising trends in the fields of space research and exploration.
Yousuf Hamad AlShaibani, director-general of MBRSC, said: “As we draw closer to the launch of the first ever International Astronautical Congress in the Arab region, we are excited that soon some of the world’s best minds in the space industry will be in the UAE to learn, share experiences and to chart a new way forward for the space sector.”
He added: “Delegates and participants visiting the UAE will not only be able to witness first-hand the futuristic capabilities of the country, but also the ways in which we are engaging collaboratively in the space sector and thereby contributing to the development and popularity of this field in the region.”
IAC 2021 will feature a line-up of thematic plenary events, highlight and keynote lectures, in-depth technical and special sessions, presentations and interactive workshops in addition to an exclusive global networking forum, social events and a space science exhibition.
