Space Generation Advisory Council

Space Generation Advisory Council

The Space Generation Advisory Council in support of the United Nations Programme on Space Applications is a non-governmental organization which "aims to bring the views of students and young space professionals to the United Nations, Space Agencies and other organisations" [http://www.spacegeneration.org/index.php?q=About About Space Generation Advisory Council: "About the Space Generation] ] .

SGAC's primary work has been in advancing space policy making, representing the world's youth on space policy to the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs and other international organisations. The SGAC continues to present youth input to the UN through its Observer Status with the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. SGAC has also been represented at the Space Policy Summit - a meeting of government representatives and heads of space agencies to discuss the future exploration of space. In addition SGAC has contributed to the European Green Paper on Space Policy.

The SGAC was founded in 1999 at a youth forum of the UNISPACE III Conference in Vienna, Austria. Over 160 young people from 60 countries attended the forum, which ran parallel to the UNISPACE III proceedings.
