SpacEconomy Consortium Meeting at Dynamicum

Our SpacEconomy project started a year ago, and since the initial kick-off meeting we have gathered twice: first in Turku last May, and for the second time now on 4 November. This time the meeting took place at the Finnish Meteorological Institute in Helsinki.

Around 40 representatives from all consortium members were present: Tampere University, the University of Helsinki, the University of Vaasa, Aalto University, the National Land Survey of Finland, and the Finnish Meteorological Institute.

During the consortium meeting we reviewed the status of the work packages and noted that the work has got off to a very good start.

Naturally, the Finnish Meteorological Institute presented its own activities in particular, with special attention given to matters important for our project, such as the Sodankylä Supersite and the Arctic Space Centre, the Space Situational Awareness Centre, and resilience from the perspective of space activities.

At the end of the day, Professor Jouni Pulliainen spoke about the future of space activities.

Dynamicum, hosting the Finnish Meteorological Institute, provided an excellent setting for the meeting.
