GNOSIS26: Follow the Sun
GNOSIS26: Follow the Sun is a free, 24-hour virtual conference exploring the challenges and opportunities involved in ensuring the long-term sustainability of outer space. Organised by the Global Network on Sustainability in Space (GNOSIS), the event brings together international experts, policymakers, researchers and industry representatives to share regional perspectives and develop collaborative solutions for a sustainable space environment.
The conference follows the sun through three consecutive regional programmes: Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), the Americas, and Asia-Pacific. Key topics include space debris, space traffic coordination, space weather, satellite constellations, astronomy, orbital sustainability, equitable access to space and international governance.
The conference is divided into three regional programmes:
| Regional programme | Date | Main focus |
|---|---|---|
| EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) | 24 November | Space sustainability, knowledge gaps, regional priorities and global collaboration |
| Americas | 24 November | Space safety, astronomy, orbital sustainability and equitable access |
| Asia-Pacific | 25 November | Regional cooperation, space sustainability and solutions for the next decade |
