1. International Astronautical Federation International Space Forum at Ministerial level Space Science and Academy for global challenges October 24, 2016 – Trento (Italy) Prof. Roberto Battiston, ASI President Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation - July 22, 2016

2. International Astronautical Federation International Space Forum Premise  University and Academy are institutions distributed all-over the world deeply rooted in their Countries, whereas Space facilities, Centers and Bases are not present in all Countries.  University and Academy in the world have a comparable approach as per the education, training and research activities, and have in general a cooperation oriented approach.  Space is a global activity requiring an high level of technical and scientific knowledge, in both upstream and downstrem areas.  University and Academy constitute a world wide network of privileged knowledge supporting the conception, preparation and exploitation of the space programs regardless the geographical location. 2

3. International Astronautical Federation International Space Forum Objectives University and Space Academy could concretely enter in the international global processes University and Space Academy should contribute to space global challenges University and Space Academy have to undertake a major role in the governmental space policies 3

4. International Astronautical Federation International Space Forum Strategy  Involve Ministers of Science, University and Research, in particular of the developing countries, to promote Space Science and Curricula in their Universities and Academy  Use IAF and IAA networks to enlarge the number of Universities involved in space programs  Insert University and Space Academy expertise in the Ministerial agendas to contribute as key element to the global challenges 4

5. International Astronautical Federation International Space Forum Results  A Space Manifesto accompanied by a set of guidelines and concrete related actions  Repeat the model of the International Space Forum at a regional level in 2017 and 2018  Contribute to the UN Int. Space Conference (UNISPACE + 50) in 2018 focused on global space governance

6. International Astronautical Federation International Space Forum Topics and Global Challenges  Climate Change  Big Data Management  Earth Protection A keynote speech will be done on each topic as a windows to look through the Space Ministers and Heads of delegations will take the floor using also the above topics in their Statements

7. International Astronautical Federation International Space Forum Climate Change Society and ecosystems are impacted by Climate Change in a broad variety of ways. Agriculture, human health, marine ecosystem, forest, water are, among other topics, all affected by climate changes. Observation from space allows in a unique way to study the climate-related impacts occurring across regions, country and continental borders. Following the agreement achieved at COP 21 in Paris at the end of 2015, there will be a growing need to implement an independent Measurement, Reporting and Verification system (MRV)

8. International Astronautical Federation International Space Forum Big Data Management The organization, administration and governance of large volumes of both structured and unstructured data is one of the main challenges of the Space Era. Effective big data management is essential in locating valuable information in large sets of data from a variety of sources, ensuring a high level of data quality and rapid accessibility within fast-growing pools of data, typically involving up to petabytes of information saved in a variety of file formats.

9. International Astronautical Federation Earth Protection Our Planet is part of a complex system that includes also interplanetary dust, solar radiation, cosmic rays and asteroids. UV radiation, cosmic rays, X and gamma rays are daily variable phenomena that may have dramatic changes in intensity during solar flares overcoming the earth magnetic field protection. Asteroid collisions, despite their low probability, may cause global effects. The Earth is immersed in this environment that may affect the society and has to be study and monitored from space International Space Forum
