Human Space Technology Initiative (HSTI), 2010

• Aims at involving more countries in activities related to:• human space flight and space exploration and

• at increasing the benefit from the outcome of such activities through international cooperation

• to make space exploration a truly international effort.

• The role of HSTI in these efforts consists of providing a platform:• to exchange information,

• to foster collaboration between partners from spacefaring and non-spacefaring countries and

• to encourage emerging and developing countries to take part in space research and to benefit from space applications.

• Strengthen cooperation with the user of Human Space Technology in order to build educational modules in specific application sectors

• (such as: biodiversity/ecosystems, climate change, disaster management, global health, GNSS, environmental monitoring & natural resources management, satellite communications etc.)

• Organize activities through cooperation with spacefaring & non-spacefaring countries;

• Compile and Incorporate best practices for multi-level education and training;

• Cooperate for the testing of the most technologically advanced tools for education

• (e-learning, web-based resources, innovative technologies)

• Collaboration with national or international space agencies and related societies.
