DESCRIPTION:An intensive\, interdisciplinary and interactive program design
 ed for lawyers and other professionals in the defence services\, internati
 onal relations\, government\, international organizations\, law firms\, co
 nsulting firms and industry interested in studying space law from a strate
 gic perspective.  Deadline to apply: 15 September 2014. Fee: 500$.   Downl
 oad the program brochure and registration info. [.docx]  What is it?  The 
 91Ö±²¥ Institute of\, and Centre for Research in\, Air and Spac
 e Law\, in partnership with the University of Adelaide Law School\, is ple
 ased to present the first ever Strategic Space Law Program. The aim of the
  program is to provide a unique opportunity for lawyers and other professi
 onals in the defence services\, international relations\, government\, int
 ernational organisations\, law firms\, consulting firms and industry aroun
 d the world to study space law in a strategic context. The Montreal progra
 m will be run as a one-week intensive\, interdisciplinary\, interactive wo
 rkshop (non-assessable) at the Institute of Air and Space Law\, 91Ö±²¥ Uni
 versity in October 2014. Thereafter\, the program will be repeated in the 
 form of a graduate course (assessable for academic credit) at the Universi
 ty of Adelaide Law School during the first semester of 2015. On both occas
 ions\, the substantive content of the program will be the same and will be
  delivered by world-class academics\, legal and policy advisors and subjec
 t-matter experts drawn from government\, civil society (including academia
 ) and commerce.  Highlights    23 core lectures from experts on the princi
 ples and concepts involved in the various disciplines that touch on Strate
 gic Space Law.  Hands-on workshops and practical exercises linked to lectu
 res\, on topics such as space traffic management\, military use of spectru
 m\, space debris and simulated legal\, policy and commercial problem-solvi
 ng and debate.  Social and other networking activities.  Professional visi
 ts to relevant sites (may include the Canadian Space Agency and Woomera la
 unch site in South Australia).    Why study Strategic Space Law?  Today th
 ere are approximately 1\,100 active satellites in orbit and the number of 
 States directly involved in launching or operating satellites has grown su
 bstantially since the dawn of the space age. Even States that have no dire
 ct involvement in launching or operating satellites rely heavily on space 
 infrastructure: for television\, radio\, banking\, communications\, transp
 ort\, agriculture\, mining\, and especially for modern military services. 
 Yet\, those satellites are under increasing threat from 100\,000s of piece
 s of space debris and increasing harmful radio interference. Furthermore\,
  some States already possess counter-space weapons and other means capable
  of destroying or disrupting satellites and other States have plans to dev
 elop those capabilities. There is also greater competition for use of the 
 limited radio frequency spectrum and prime orbital slots that are indispen
 sable for the operation of all satellites.  Outer space is becoming more c
 ontested\, congested and competitive. Concurrently\, the global security s
 ituation generally is less certain. Financial and other constraints have m
 ade global powers more inward-looking and less likely to deploy forces glo
 bally – except through the sort of ‘remote reach’ capabilities that rely o
 n space infrastructure (such as uninhabited aerial vehicles and cyber warf
 are). Secure\, ongoing access to fossil fuels is a growing concern\, yet a
 ll States are wary of the nuclear energy option and its relationship to th
 e proliferation of nuclear weapons. Ballistic missiles\, as the means of d
 elivery of nuclear weapons\, involve space flight and ballistic missile de
 fence also relies on space-based infrastructure. Thus\, space is a key ele
 ment in global security\, yet it is also increasingly vulnerable.
