Leonardo/Olats, member of ITACCUS, is pleased to announce 
the call for paper on SPACE: SOCIETAL, EDUCATIONAL AND 
CULTURAL ASPECTS for the International Astronautical 
Congress 2011 that takes place in Cape Town in South Africa 
in October 2011.



E1.6/E5.4 SPACE: SOCIETAL, EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL ASPECTS

International Astronautical Congress
3rd – 7th October 2011, Cape Town, South Africa

This is a joint session between the IAF Space Education and 
Outreach Committee and IAA Commission VI and is co-sponsored 
by the IAF Technical Committee on the Cultural Utilisation 
of Space (ITACCUS). In this inter-disciplinary session we 
wish to explore the societal, educational and cultural 
contexts of space, investigate the way in which these 
contexts engage with each other and with space activities 
and foster a dialogue between scientists/engineers, artists, 
cultural practitioners and thinkers active in these fields. 
For IAC2011, we particularly encourage submissions related 
to the topic of water and space.

travel costs to South Africa make it rather expensive and 
that the Congress does not provide any support.
