6th Canadian Space Exploration Workshop November 30, 2008

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is pleased to announce that it will host the 6th Canadian Space Exploration Workshop (CSEW6), from December 1-3, 2008, at the John H. Chapman Space Centre in Longueuil, Quebec. Under the theme "Canadian Scientific Priorities for the Global Exploration Strategy," this workshop will allow the Canadian space exploration community to present and discuss ideas for Canada's scientific priorities for the Global Exploration Strategy (GES). The Canadian Space Agency's interests in solar system science are broader than those defined in GES, but GES opportunities motivate a focus for discussions at this time.

Workshop discussions are intended to lead to the creation of a document describing Canadian scientific priorities relevant to the GES. This document will be published on the CSA website, and may be published in a scientific journal. The Canadian Space Agency will assess this output to help Canada take best advantage of scientific opportunities presented by GES to fulfill goals of the Government of Canada's Science and Technology Strategy.

Come to CSEW6 and participate in the ongoing development of the Canadian Space Program!
