Working Groups
Working Groups
In the summer of 2021, WIA-Europe initiated its Working Group initiative with the objective of formulating White Papers that are pertinent to the goals of our association and community. These working groups comprise both individual and corporate members, encompassing a wide range of perspectives to thoroughly address the respective subjects and offer practical recommendations.
In Summer 2021, WIA-Europe launched its Working Group initiative with the aim of drafting White Papers relevant to the objectives of our association and our community.
The working groups consist of individual and corporate members, embracing as many perspectives as possible to profoundly cover the respective topics and provide actionable recommendations.
The first White Papers were presented during a series of round tables within the programme of the World Space Week 2021.
