ABOUT THE EUROPEAN CENTRE FOR SPACE LAW (ESCL)
The European Centre for Space Law (ESCL) was established in 1989 under the auspices of the European Space Agency (ESA) and with the support of a number of pioneers in this field.
Current members of the ECSL include professionals working in a wide range of areas within the space sector, lawyers, university professors and students.
Among other things, one of the main objectives of the Centre is to provide a forum for all those wishing to participate in constructive dialogue related to space law and space policy, and to encourage interdisciplinary exchange among members.
ESCL members include professionals working in different areas within the space sector. Citizens of ESA Member States or countries with cooperative agreements with ESA can become members of ECSL upon payment of a small annual fee.
Membership gives the right to participate in ECSL activities, to vote at the General Meeting of Members and to receive certain ECSL publications.
