The first Italian MVA Space Summer School: ”Towards the Humans return to the Moon”

Italian members of Moon Village Association (MVA) and institutional partners, to celebrate the International Moon Day 2023, have organized the Space Summer School to be held July 24 and 25 at La Sapienza University in Rome (Italy).

The school will pursue the goals of IMD2023, focused on “Beginning the New Lunar Journey for Humanity”, and promote the expertise and research interests of Italian associates and the MVA’s institutional partner to network between students and stakeholders. The topics addressed will have as their main focus the future activities of Lunar Space Exploration, but will reflect MVA’s characteristic of considering the topic from the perspective of more than one discipline (Science, Engineering, Economics, Health, Art and Literature), implementing a multi- and cross-disciplinary teaching approach.

Note. The school will be in English and is aimed at those who want to get an overview of the main topics related to Lunar Exploration. A certificate of attendance will be awarded at the end of the Summer School.

La prima Space Summer School Italiana dell’MVA: ”Towards the Humans return to the Moon”

I membri italiani di Moon Village Association (MVA) e i partner istituzionali, per celebrare la Giornata Internazionale della Luna 2023, hanno organizzato la Space Summer School che si terrà il 24 e 25 Luglio presso l’Università la Sapienza a Roma (Italia).

La scuola perseguirà gli obiettivi dell’IMD2023, incentrati sul “Beginning the New Lunar Journey for Humanity”, e promuoverà le competenze e gli interessi di ricerca degli associati italiani e del partner istituzionale dell’MVA, per creare una rete di contatti tra studenti e stakeholder. Gli argomenti affrontati avranno come tema principale le future attività per l’Esplorazione Spaziale Lunare, ma rifletterà la caratteristica di MVA di considerare il tema dal punto di vista di più di una disciplina(Scienze, Ingegneria, Economia, Salute, Arte e Letteratura), implementando un approccio didattico multidisciplinare e interdisciplinare.

N.B. La scuola sarà in lingua Inglese e si rivolge a coloro che vogliono avere una panoramica dei principali argomenti legati all’Espoliazione Lunare. Alla fine della Summer School verrà rilasciato un certificato di partecipazione.

Introduction

The Moon Village Association (MVA) Italian associates and some MVA istitutional Partners ( Center for Near Space of Italian Institute for the Future (CNS/IIF), Newroboticarm srl, See Lab SDA Bocconi ) orchestrated a remarkable Space Summer School in Italy to commemorate International Moon Day 2023 (See IAC Paper). Building upon the success of this inaugural event, we propose the second edition of the Italian MVA Space Summer School, scheduled for July 2024, coinciding with the celebration of International Moon Day 2024.

Continuation of Organizing Committee and Expansion

This edition will be characterized by the same organizing committee. However, in a bid to enhance accessibility and participation, we plan to expand the in-person component of the school to other Italian cities such as Turin, Milan, Naples, and beyond. This expansion aims to engage a broader audience and foster greater collaboration across regions.

Objective and Background

The primary objective of the MVA Space Summer School is to foster collaboration among stakeholders including governments, industry, academia, and the public interested in lunar exploration. As an annual event coinciding with International Moon Day, the school serves as a platform to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable Moon exploration and utilization.

Highlights from the First Edition

The inaugural Italian MVA Space Summer School witnessed significant engagement, with over 70 participants from diverse backgrounds. A hybrid format allowed for both in-person and virtual participation, showcasing the event’s accessibility and global reach. Participants represented over 10 different countries across Europe, Asia, America, and Africa, illustrating the international character of the school.

Expansion and Inclusivity

Expanding the in-person component to additional Italian cities aims to further enhance inclusivity and accessibility. By offering multiple locations, we aim to accommodate participants from various regions and backgrounds, fostering a more diverse and vibrant learning environment.

Interdisciplinary Approach

The MVA Space Summer School embodies a high level of interdisciplinarity, covering a wide range of subjects relevant to space exploration. From economics and governance to science and technology, the program provides participants with a holistic understanding of the challenges and opportunities in space exploration.

In conclusion, the second edition of the Italian MVA Space Summer School in July 2024 promises to build upon the success of its predecessor. By expanding the in-person component to additional Italian cities, maintaining a high level of interdisciplinarity, and incorporating feedback from participants, we aim to create a dynamic and inclusive learning experience that fosters collaboration and innovation in lunar exploration.
