The Vienna Space Security Conference (VSSC) has transatlantic, European and Austrian roots, but our activities also reflect a globalised world. The VSSC strives to increase global diversity for the topic of SPACE and to reach all relevant stakeholders. The goal of the VSSC is to discuss the most significant current and future SPACE security challenges, as well as to be able to formulate contributions to solutions.
The VSSC advocates a comprehensive security concept that takes into account the complex interrelationships such as “space security and cybersecurity” and the influences on global security policy and develops robust security concepts for the economy and the global community for the economization of space and colonization activities of space by private and state actors.
The VSSC promotes the discussion and development of a comprehensive and holistic view of security policy in terms of the concept of securitisation, which encompasses space security, cyber security, economic security, environmental security, societal security, political security, and public security, and helps describe their global interactions and effects.
Topics such as space law, space policy, space economy, space science and technology, space infrastructures and their development, space environment, space culture, space risk management, and space disaster management will occupy an essential discussion space in interaction and discussion for the development of a comprehensive and holistic view of security policy.
