Space Café Italy by Dr Emma Gatti

This Space Café Italy will feature Giorgio Saccoccia , President of the Italian Space Agency (ASI), in conversation with Dr. Emma Gatti, host for Space Cafè Radio and correspondent of SpaceWatch.Global for Italy.

The future of Italy’s Space Sector

Our guest for the last episode of 2022, directly from the 2022 Ministerial and -hopefully-from the launch of Artemis I, will be the President of the Italian Space Agency, Mr. Giorgio Saccoccia. It has been a very significant year for Italy's Space Sector, with many changes and important decisions, and certainly being just after the Ministerial we expect there will be a lot to discuss: which budget will Italy offer to ESA for the next coming years? How will ESA jointly administer IRIDE, Italy’s most ambitious constellation project? Will Italy reaffirm its leading position within the EO sector? We will also talk about the launch of Artemis, the Recovery Fund, and much more. Don't miss the opportunity to be able to interact with the President and ask him all your burning questions! The appointment is for November the 30th at 6 p.m. Italian time. Participation is free but don't forget to register on Eventbrite!
