The 1st UNISEC-Global Meeting
November 23-24, 2013, Tokyo, Japan

Background

Our planet has no national boundaries as seen from outer space. Recent globalization has been demonstrated in many areas, such as financial markets, air pollution, and global warming. The University Space Engineering Consortium (UNISEC1) believes that providing good educational opportunities to future generations worldwide will lead to a better future, as the resolution of global problems requires a cooperative effort. UNISEC has provided practical space engineering education since 2002 in Japan, and its activities have been spread to the rest of the world through international programs, such as the Mission Idea Contest (MIC2), CanSat Leader Training Program (CLTP3), and Nano-satellite Symposium, with warm support from many individuals and institutions in various regions around the globe. Under circumstances where university associations have been formed in several countries, UNISEC believes that it is now time to establish UNISEC-Global, where collaborative efforts will be facilitated beyond national boundaries, and to contribute to the development of solutions to global issues.

1. Objective of the 1st Meeting

Armed with more than ten years of experience in outreach activities in the field of space science and technology, UNISEC is pleased to announce its first UNSEC-Global Meeting. The meeting will include the MIC3 pre-proposal presentation sessions on Saturday, November 23, 2013. MIC is one of the main international activities and an indispensable element for the future UNISEC-Global organization. It is planned to declare the establishment of UNISEC-Global at the end of this meeting.
