Delegates from the European Commission, Space Agencies, universities, research bodies and European Regions involved in NEREUS will discuss about “Space, a driver for competitiveness and growth”, sharing their knowledge and expertise, and with the goal of launching from the year 2014 a common EU strategy for Space technologies.
Space technologies have become an important part of everyday life.

The agenda includes user-driven sessions, thematic sub-sessions, round tables and special events.
This Conference will therefore allow the international space community, under the auspices of NEREUS and the Apulia Region, to pave the way for a reinforced action towards a continuous and systematic use of space data and technologies in Europe. NEREUS and Apulia Region want to play a key role in this process, and the results of this International Conference will help them to build a concrete strategy and its relevant implementation plan starting from 2014.
