Outer Space Law - ECSL Practitioners’ Forum 2008
15 12 08 00:00
“National space
legislation in Europe – Issues of authorisation in the light
of developments in European space
cooperation”. Monday 15 December 2008
ESA Headquarters
Paris, France
A one-day Practitioner's Forum has been organised every year since 1992. The aim of the Forum is to provide those working in the space sector with a forum for the exchange of views, knowledge and information. During the forum experts present the latest developments in, for example: EC law, contracts and procurement law, telecommunications, space liability and insurance, etc. Each presentation is followed by a question and discussion session.The forum is very informal, participants speak in their personal capacity and in general, papers are not collected or published.
On Monday 15 December 2008, the annual ECSL Practitioners’ Forum will be organised at ESA Headquarters in Paris, on the subject of “National space legislation in Europe – Issues of authorisation in the light of developments in European space cooperation”. The number and volume of national laws addressing the authorisation of private space activities is constantly growing also in Europe. This raises legal issues with regard to European cooperation in space both in the context of ESA and in that of recent EU developments, most particularly the drafting of a Reform Treaty containing a few relevant clauses in this context. The Forum will, consequently, encompass presentations by experts on such specific topics as registration of space objects, liability and insurance, intellectual property rights, space tourism, and will compare national, European and international approaches to authorisation. The Forum will address these important legal aspects in its usual format of a free exchange of opinions by representatives from the academic, governmental, intergovernmental/European and industry sectors, and will be open to participation by anyone interested.

Qubit pour le calcul: l'état des lieux - 1er octobre 2008, Grenoble - World trade center
01 10 08 00:00
Les bits quantiques permettent de
stocker et d'utiliser l'information quantique, source d'un
potentiel énorme en termes de calcul. Certains laboratoires,
poussés par les développements théoriques des mathématiques et de
l'informatique quantique, ont en ligne de mire l'ordinateur
quantique, cet objet incertain qui permettrait l'implémentation de
calculs à grande échelle. D'autres s'intéressent davantage aux
formidables propriétés de ces systèmes. Tous font appel à la fois à
la physique propre aux systèmes quantiques, et aux développements
technologiques liés aux nanosciences. Après une période où ont paru
des résultats très spectaculaires, mais aussi des annonces plus ou
moins dignes de foi, l'OMNT a jugé opportun de proposer une journée
pour faire le point sur le sujet.

This official Conference of the
International Association for Management of Technology will be held
on the French Riviera (well known for Monaco, Cannes, Antibes,
Saint-Tropez,…) in Sophia Antipolis, the technopole of the
seaside city of Nice. A broad interpretation of the concept of
Management of Technology (MOT) has been adopted for this 2008
Conference. Technology is not only considered simply as an asset or
a capability to manage but also as a factor that has an impact on
almost every management method and practice. Conference is planned
to start on September 17 at 8:30 and to
end on September 19 at 12:30.

Fusion Thermonucléaire (nouvel élan pour le programme ITER)
18 06 08 08:00
Aomori, (Japon)
18 juin 2008
Le Conseil ITER, l’organe exécutif de la nouvelle Organisation internationale, s’est réuni pour la deuxième fois les 17 et 18 juin 2008. Cette réunion de deux jours, qui s’est tenue à Aomori, au Japon, a rassemblé les hauts représentants des sept Partenaires de l’Organisation ITER : la Chine, l’Union européenne, l’Inde, le Japon, laCorée, la Russie et les États-Unis.
ITER est la plus grande installation expérimentale de fusion jamais construite. Le programme a été conçu pour démontrer la faisabilité scientifique et technique de l’énergie de fusion est à l’origine de l’énergie du Soleil et des étoiles. Quand des noyaux d’atomes légers fusionnent pour former des noyaux plus lourds, une grande quantité d’énergie se trouve libérée. La recherche sur la fusion vise à développer un prototype de «centrale de fusion» qui soit à la fois sûr, fiable, respectueux de l’environnement et viable d’un point de vue économique. La fusion repose sur une ressource en combustible abondante et universellement accessible.
