    • Capacity-building actions:
      • Proposals initiating and implementing projects endorsed by COMEST 4 during its 2005 meeting: e.g., education in space ethics, world management concern for space data. The proposals will be thereupon be submitted to the 33rd General Conference;
      • Creating and supporting a body of experts in the area of space ethics, who can serve as advisory team and scholarly consultants in future activities.

  • Dissemination:
    • 2 publications on the ethics of outer space
    • International conference "Mars and Minerva. The ethical and philosophical challenges of space exploration"
    • Conference on "Legal and Ethical Framework for Astronauts in space sojourns"
