ABOUT

EURO-SPACE

“Citizens’ debate on Space for Europe“

Im Jahr 2011 hat die Europäische Kommission das Grundsatzdokument zur Strategie der Europäischen Raumfahrtsforschung publiziert, Wie die EUROBAROMETER Studie 2014 in allen Europäischen Mitgliedsstaaten gezeigt hat ist dies auch ein Anliegen der Bürgerinnen und Bürger. Im Rahmen der Studie wurden 27.680 Bürgerinnen und Bürger befragt. Sie erwarten sich für die nächsten 20 Jahre Auswirkungen auf Beschäftigung, Fortschritt in der medizinischen Forschung, Fortschritte für Energieeffizienz und alternative Energien sowie auf den Kampf gegen den Klimawandel. Ebenso sind sie sich bewusst, dass Informationen aus dem All Mobilität erleichtern.
